Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Almond flour
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 6 ounces Sushi-grade tuna
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Place the cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as possible to ensure it is dry.
In a mixing bowl, combine the dried cauliflower rice, egg, almond flour, salt, and pepper. Mix until it forms a sticky, cohesive mixture.
Divide the cauliflower mixture into 12 small, evenly-sized portions. Shape each portion into a small rectangular or oval patty resembling sushi rice rectangles.
Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, fry the cauliflower rice patties for 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and crispy. Add more coconut oil as needed for subsequent batches. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Dice the sushi-grade tuna into small cubes and place it in a bowl. Add the mayonnaise, sriracha, and soy sauce (or coconut aminos). Mix well until evenly combined.
Finely chop the green onion and stir it into the spicy tuna mixture.
Slice the avocado into thin slices or mash it with lime juice for a creamy topping, if preferred.
Assemble the crispy rice by layering each cauliflower patty with mashed avocado or avocado slices, a spoonful of spicy tuna mixture, and a light sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Garnish with extra green onions, lime wedges, or additional sriracha for added flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
