Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and creamy. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add avocado oil. Allow it to shimmer for about 1-2 minutes. Form chilled sushi rice into clumps and place them in the skillet. Press down to create a crust. Cook for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, then flip to cook the other side.
  3. Transfer crispy rice to serving bowls. Scoop portions of the spicy tuna mixture on top, add sliced mini cucumber, and sprinkle chopped scallions.
  4. Garnish with sesame seeds, chili crisp, and nori sheets. Serve immediately for the best crunchy experience.

Use chilled rice for the best crispy texture. Don't rush cooking the rice; it's essential for a crunchy crust.
