Instructions

Step 1: Rinse 1 cup sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear. Cook rice according to package instructions. While hot, gently fold in 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt. Let cool to room temperature.
Step 2: In a small bowl, combine 6 oz diced fresh sushi-grade tuna, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Mix gently until tuna is evenly coated and spicy mayo is well blended.
Step 3: Divide sushi rice into two bowls. Arrange 1 medium sliced avocado on top of the rice in each bowl.
Step 4: Spoon the spicy tuna mixture over the avocado and rice. Garnish with 2 thinly sliced scallions and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds for crunch and color.
Step 5: Serve immediately with additional soy sauce on the side if desired.
