Prepare Sushi Rice
  1. First, start rinsing the sushi rice well with clean water to remove any starch.
  2. Dip the rice in a bowl of water for 8 minutes.
  3. Take a saucepan or pot and fill it with water.
  4. Once the water starts boiling, pour the washed rice into the saucepan or pot.
  5. Cook the rice for 10 to 12 min on medium-high heat. If you’re using an instant pot, set it on high pressure for 7 to 8 minutes.
  6. After 12 minutes, turn off the flame. The rice is now cooked.
  7. Shift rice to a bowl and let it cool down.
Make Crispy Rice
  1. Pour the rice into a tray or container.
  2. Flatten it with a spatula to level from the top and turn it into a thick layer.
  3. Now the thick and leveled layer of cooked rice is ready for the cutting.
  4. Cut the rice with a knife in a rectangle shape.
  5. Now the squares are ready for the fry.
  6. Take a large frying pan with your preferred oil on high heat.
  7. Place your rice cakes into the pan one by one.
  8. Fry each side for 3 minutes until it becomes golden brown. Add more oil if needed and keep flipping each square patty carefully.
  9. Remove from the pan and shift to the rack to keep crispy.
Build Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice

  2. Add spicy tuna with your spoon on the top.
