Easy, indulgent, and totally shareable (or not, we won't judge).

One bite, and good luck stopping at just one.

Serves: 2

Prep time: 30 mins

Cook time: 20 mins

Method:

Cook rice using your preferred method (don't rinse the rice, you want it starchy and sticky).

Once cooked, add the salt, sugar and vinegar and mix well.

In a plastic sandwich bag or a baking dish, squash your rice down into a thin sheet. Score lightly into 8 portions using a knife.

Refrigerate or freeze until firm.

While the rice is setting, make the tuna filling. In a small bowl, add tuna, mayo, sliced spring onions and hot sauce (if using) and mix well.

When the rice is set, break or cut into smaller portions and fry on a medium-high heat in oil or in the airfryer until crispy and golden.

Top with your tuna mixture, avocado, jalapeño, everything bagel seasoning and chopped coriander.
