Ingredients
  

For the Sushi Bowl
  • 4 cups cooked sushi rice Already seasoned with rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and a pinch of sugar
  • ½ cup bang bang sauce Add more according to spice preference
  • 2 cans tuna, drained Choose lighter tuna for a milder taste or packed in oil for richer flavor
  • to taste sriracha sauce For extra heat
  • 1 large avocado, sliced or diced Adds richness
  • 4 scallions, chopped For fresh flavor
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For frying the rice
  • to taste salt and black pepper Essential seasoning

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If you don’t have any leftovers, start by cooking your sushi rice following the package instructions. Once it’s cooked, while it’s still warm, season it with rice wine vinegar, a touch of sesame oil, and a pinch of sugar.
  2. While the rice is cooking, mix your drained tuna with the bang bang sauce in a bowl and slice your avocado.
  3. Chop up the scallions for a fresh crunch.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high and drizzle in your olive oil. Let it get hot, then add your seasoned sushi rice. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping to crisp the other side.
Assembly
  1. Start with a scoop of crispy sushi rice at the bottom of your bowl. Layer on the bang bang tuna, then add avocado, scallions, and furikake. Finish with a drizzle of sriracha.

Notes

Make sure your sushi rice is sticky enough to hold everything together. Feel free to substitute tuna with shrimp or chicken, and add any seasonal veggies you like.
