This winter/spring I had seen spicy tuna crispy rice all over Instagram and was very excited to test out Moyoma’s version of the dish for lunch a few months ago. I absolutely loved the combination of spicy tuna, jalapeño and eel sauce over crispy rice and decided to make my own simple and inexpensive variation of the dish, which is featured below!
My Adaptation: Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice – Serving Size: 1 Serving
Ingredients:
1/4 cup canned tuna
1 tablespoon Trader Joe’s chili onion crunch
1/2 tablespoon non-fat plain greek yogurt
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon ginger, minced
1 teaspoon Trader Joe’s riced cauliflower stir fry, cooked
1 teaspoon Furikake seasoning
Instructions:
Crispy Rice Base: I decided to use a rice cake as my base. While this doesn’t have the exact same texture of fried sushi rice it’s pretty close and does the trick of providing a nice crispy base for your spicy tuna. I cut my rice into quarters
Spicy Tuna: For my version of spicy tuna I combined canned tuna, Trader Joe’s chili onion crunch, greek yogurt, lime juice, ginger and cooked Trader Joe’s riced cauliflower stir fry. I mixed all of ingredients together in a small bowl until I had a creamy tuna mixture
Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice Bites: Finally, I put a heaping tablespoon of the spicy tuna mixture onto the pieces of rice cake and sprinkled the furikake seasoning on top as a garnish.
In conclusion, the spicy tuna over rice cake pieces was a quick and easy lunch weekday lunch I’ll definitely be making on repeat!
