Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked sushi rice
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 lb sashimi-grade tuna, diced
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped green onions
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 1/2 avocado, diced (optional)
  • 1 sheet nori, cut into small squares
  • Microgreens or shredded seaweed for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir into the warm sushi rice and let cool completely.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine diced tuna, coconut milk, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, green onions, sesame seeds, and avocado (if using). Mix gently and chill for 10–15 minutes.
  3. Press cooled rice into a square pan or baking dish to form an even layer. Refrigerate to firm up for 15 minutes.
  4. Cut the rice into small squares using a sharp knife.
  5. Top each rice square with a small piece of nori.
  6. Spoon a small amount of tuna mixture on top of each square.

Notes

  • Use only sushi-grade tuna for raw preparations.
  • These are best served fresh and cold.
  • You can substitute coconut aminos for soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
