Instructions
Prepare the Crispy Rice
- Mix the rice with Kemushi Sushi Vinegar, then press it firmly into a small dish or baking pan to form a compact layer about 1/2 inch thick. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help it firm up.
- Once chilled, cut the rice into small squares or rectangles, roughly 1.5x1.5in.
- In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the rice squares until golden and crispy on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Make the Tuna Tartare
- In a bowl, combine diced tuna, Kemushi Umami Soy Sauce, sesame oil, green onion, and avocado (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Bites
- Spoon a small amount of tuna tartare onto each crispy rice square.
- Top each bite with a dollop of Kemushi Spicy Mayo.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
These crispy rice bites are a must for fans of bold, Japanese-inspired flavors. Serve them as an appetizer, at your next gathering, or just because they’re that delicious. Each bite brings that irresistible crunch, fresh tuna, and creamy, spicy kick – guaranteed to be the talk of your table!
