What is Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice?

Spicy tuna crispy rice is a sushi roll that’s made with a base of fried spicy tuna, rice, and seaweed. The seaweed is typically served on the outside of the roll, but some restaurants serve it on the inside instead.

It’s also sometimes called “spicy crunchy tuna” or “spicy crunchy salmon.” It’s one of my favorite Japanese dishes, and it’s also one of the most popular. It’s hard to find a sushi place that doesn’t serve it. The crunchy rice adds a nice texture contrast to the soft sushi roll, and the spicy tuna is delicious.

Kitchen Equipment Needed:

Rice Cooker

Rice cookers are a great way to make one-pot meals. They’re great for rice, but they can also be used to make soups, stews and more.

The rice cooker will keep the temperature at a constant level, so you don’t have to worry about burning your food or undercooking it. It also helps control moisture levels, so you know exactly what you’re getting every time.

How To Make Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice?

The Rice

  1. First, you’re going to need to make some rice. You can use any kind of rice, but we recommend short-grain white rice and sushi rice (both of which you can find at your local grocery store).
  2. Once your rice is cooked and cooled, it’s time for the fun part: rolling it up! If you’ve never done this before, don’t worry—it’s actually pretty easy! The key is getting a feel for how much pressure you need to put on the rice to keep it from falling apart while still allowing it to stick together.
  3. Once you’ve rolled all your pieces up, place them on a plate or cutting board covered with plastic wrap or parchment paper until they’ve dried out slightly (about 15 minutes).
  4. Then remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle the pieces with whatever seasoning you want to add flavor (we recommend salt).
  5. Finally, cut them into smaller strips so they’ll fit into your hand when eating!

The Spicy Tuna

To make the Spicy Tuna, mix tuna with soy sauce, sesame oil and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Stir it all together until the mixture is blended well.

Assembling

Now you’re ready to assemble your dish!

  1. First, spread some spicy tuna on top of one half of the crispy rice and then top that with avocado slices or sliced cucumbers (or both!).
  2. Then put another layer of crispy rice on top of those ingredients and press down gently so that everything sticks together well without getting mushy – just like making sushi!

Tips

1. Make the rice crispy.

The first step to making your crispy rice spicy tuna better is to make sure you’re using the right kind of rice. You want short-grain white rice, which is sturdier and drier than long-grain white rice (so it doesn’t get mushy when you cook it), but not as dry as brown rice (which can be too crunchy).

2. Prepare your ingredients in advance.

One of the best ways to make sure your homemade sushi rolls come out great is to prepare all your ingredients ahead of time. This means everything—the vegetables, the fish, even the rice! If you don’t want to chop up your vegetables or cut open a fresh salmon filet just for one roll (or if you don’t have a sushi mat), then prep all those things ahead of time so that when it comes time for rolling them up, there will be nothing stopping you from getting it done quickly and easily.

3. Get your hands dirty!

If you’re trying to make something look beautiful and professional-looking without having any training or experience doing so, then chances are high that something will go wrong along the way.

Storage

Crispy rice spicy tuna is a delicious dish that you can make at home, but it’s also easy to find in restaurants. If you’d like to make it at home, or if you want to serve it at a party, you’ll want to know how to store spicy tuna crispy rice.

  3. . Another option is to use an oven—just preheat it to 350°F, then place your leftover spicy tuna crispy rice on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until hot throughout (again, check the internal temperature).
