A delightful and refreshing Tuna Avocado Crispy Rice Salad that combines crispy rice, fresh veggies, and a savory tuna mixture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup cucumber, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Mixed greens (optional for serving)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
  4. Prepare the sushi vinegar mixture by whisking together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved.
  5. Transfer the rested rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the sushi vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and form small portions of cooled rice into compact squares or rectangles.
  7. Fry the rice in hot oil until golden and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  8. In a mixing bowl, combine drained tuna, diced avocado, cucumber, red onion, mayonnaise, soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Assemble the salad by placing mixed greens (if using) on a plate, arrange crispy rice squares, and spoon tuna and avocado mixture over the rice.
  10. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, ensure the oil is hot before frying the rice.
  • Use fresh, ripe avocados for the best flavor.
  • You can adjust the seasoning based on your taste preferences.
