For the Spicy Tuna:

• 1 teaspoon Kewpie mayo

• 1/4 teaspoon Sriracha sauce

• 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil

• 3 dashes soy sauce

Steps to Make It

Assembling the Sushi Rice Bun

1. Gather the ingredients.

2. Prepare sushi rice according to the directions on the bag and then add about 1 teaspoon of seasoned rice wine vinegar per cup of rice—this is what will give it the sticky texture and will help the rice patties stay together.

3. Find 2 small bowls and spray them with nonstick spray.

4. Take 2 small handfuls (about 1/4 pound each) of the sushi rice and pack them into the bowl, wrap in cling wrap and put in the fridge for at least 2 hours and up to 48 hours. Remove from fridge and gently slide out when ready to use.

Assembling the Spicy Tuna

1. Chop ahi tuna into small chunks and place in a bowl.

2. Add kewpie mayo, Sriracha, sweet chili oil, sesame oil, and soy sauce and stir. Set aside.

Assembling the Sushi Burger

1. Gently remove one-half of the sushi bun out of the bowl and lay avocado on top.

2. Add the spicy tuna mixture and add a drizzle of Sriracha, Kewpie mayo, and eel sauce.

3. Top with cilantro and the other half of the sushi bun and sprinkle with the crispy fried garlic.
