Prep Time 1 hour
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 10 crispy rice

Equipment

  • 2 baking sheets or something similar to flatten the rice in the freezer
  • wax paper

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked white rice or cooked sushi rice
  • 1 lb spicy ahi
  • 2 avocado
  • 1 stalk green onion chopped
  • Vegetable oil or natural oil for frying
  • Unagi sauce optional

Instructions

  • Spread your cooked rice over wax paper that is on a baking sheet. Make sure its evenly spread and about 1 inch thick. Place another wax paper on top and another baking sheet on top of that. Place in freezer and put something on top to weigh it down for about 1 hour.
  • Take rice out of freezer and remove both baking sheets. Plae rice on wax paper on cutting board and cut ends off first. Then cut into even pieces.
  • Pour oil in pan so it only covers the entire bottom and heat on medium until ready to fry. Place rice in oil and fry until golden crispy brown on both sides. The darker the color the crispier it will become and that will make it hard to bite.
  • Place finished crispy rice on napkin to drain excess oil for about 10 minutes.
  • Assemble toppings and place sliced avocado on top then spicy ahi and green onions. Keep doing this until you have no more left. Lightly drizzle unagi sauce on top if you'd like. ENJOY!
