Spicy Tuna Sushi Stacks
We orginally made this recipe for a Zoom Cooking Class at the peak of avocado seasoning, and I was trying to come up with a different way to use avocado. Using these measurements you should be able to make 4 stacks, in my house this will only feed 2 people. We love this stuff!
The Sushi Rice...
1 Cup uncooked short grained rice
2 Cups water
2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Teaspoon salt
Place the rice in a medium saucepan and rinse the rice until the water is clear. Next bring the rice to a boil with 2 cups of water, cover, reduce the heat and cook for 20 minutes and all the water has been absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, heat the vinegar in a small saucepan and dissolve the sugar and salt in it.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, turn out the cooked sushi rice onto the line tray. Spread out the hot rice and pour the vinegar mixture over the rice. Using a paddle gently slice the rice to distribute the vinegar mixture and help the rice to cool. Cover the rice with a clean damp kitchen towel and set the rice aside.
The Spicy Tuna...
2 4oz tuna steaks
¼ Cup soy sauce
1 Tbsp Sesame oil
2 Teaspoons ginger, grated
1 Jalapeno, finely diced
¼ Cup green onions, chopped
1 Tablespoon sesame seeds
Cube the tuna and place in a medium bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and toss to coat. Set aside.
The Avocado and Cucumber Layer...
1 Cup Cucumber, small dice
½ Cup avocado, diced
½ Cup avocado, roughly mashed
1 Tablespoon lime juice
¼ Cup cilantro, chopped
Salt to taste
In a small bowl combine all the ingredients, and set aside to build the stacks.
Making the Spicy Mayo...
½ Cup mayo
2 Tablespoons Sriracha
1 Teaspoon sesame oil
Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl.
For the stacks...
4 Teaspoons Furikake seasoning
Building the Sushi Stacks...
Place your mold in the center of the plate. Spoon ¼ cup cooked sushi rice into the mold and pat down. Next add ¼ of the avocado mixture, and finally top with ¼ of the spicy tuna. Remove the mold, sprinkle with furikake and drizzle with the spicy mayo.
Optional: If you want to add some vegetables to the this tasty Spicy Tuna Sushi Stacks meal, serve the stacks with steamed Edamame beans and/or store bought seaweed salad.
