Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1.25 cups water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 can canned tuna (in water), drained
- 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 2 seaweed sheets (nori), crumbled
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha mayo
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (e.g., canola or grapeseed oil)
- 2 scallions, finely sliced
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and 1.25 cups of water in a pot. Bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit for 10 minutes, covered.
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold the mixture into the cooked rice while fanning it to cool down. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spread the cooked sushi rice evenly into a round pizza-like shape (about 10-inch diameter). Press the rice down with a spatula to form a cohesive crust.
Cook the rice crust for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and let it cool slightly on a plate or cutting board.
Spread a thin layer of sriracha mayo over the crispy rice base.
Evenly distribute the drained tuna and chopped shrimp over the base for a protein-packed topping.
Arrange the avocado slices, cucumber slices, and crumbled nori over the seafood layers.
Drizzle soy sauce over the toppings for added umami and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
Cut into wedges like a pizza and serve immediately. Enjoy your High Protein Sushi Pizza!
