Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 Egg
- 4 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 6 ounces Sushi-grade tuna
- 1 tablespoon Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha (Paleo-friendly)
- 2 tablespoons Avocado mayonnaise (Paleo-friendly)
- 1 stalk Green onion
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Place the cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, coconut flour, egg, and salt. Mix until the mixture holds together.
Shape the cauliflower mixture into small rectangular patties about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide.
Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, fry the cauliflower patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy. Add more coconut oil as needed for additional batches. Set them aside to cool on a paper towel-lined plate.
Dice the sushi-grade tuna into small cubes and place it in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, Paleo-friendly sriracha, avocado mayonnaise, and sesame oil. Pour this mixture over the diced tuna and toss to coat evenly.
Thinly slice the green onion and dice the avocado. Set them aside for garnish.
To assemble, place a spoonful of the spicy tuna mixture on top of each crispy cauliflower rice patty.
Top with sliced green onion, diced avocado, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice!
