**Serves:** 4 people

## Ingredients

- 1 lb sushi-grade yellowfin tuna, finely diced

- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil

2. In a bowl, combine the finely diced [yellowfin tuna](https://news.freshaig.com/tag/yellowfin-tuna/), mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil, and sliced green onions. Mix gently until the tuna is evenly coated. Keep refrigerated.
3. Remove the firm rice from the refrigerator and slice it into bite-sized rectangles using a sharp, wet knife.
4. Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the rice rectangles for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
5. To assemble, spoon a generous mound of the spicy tuna mixture onto each crispy rice bite. Garnish each with a slice of jalapeño.
6. Serve immediately with soy sauce on the side and enjoy!
