- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds optional
- 4 medium avocado ripe
- 2-3 tablespoon Japanese mayo or regular mayo
- 2-3 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 green onion finely chopped for garnishing
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil, for greasing the baking dish
Spicy Tuna Mixture
- 15.87 oz canned tuna in oil or canned tuna in water or canned salmon, 3 x 5.29 oz / 150 g cans
- 4-5 tablespoon Japanese mayo or regular mayo
- 1-2 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Seasoned Rice
- 1.5 cups uncooked short-grain rice or 4 cups / 800 g cooked short-grain rice
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
- 2 teaspoon white granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Evenly grease a 9 x 9-inch baking dish with vegetable oil or any neutral oil using a paper towel.
- Cook short grain rice according to package instructions in your rice cooker or on the stove top (see Notes below for further instructions).
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
- To season the rice: Transfer cooked hot rice to a large bowl. Season rice with salt, sugar and rice vinegar and mix with a rice paddle. Then evenly spread the rice and firmly pack the rice into the baking dish.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and furikake over the seasoned rice.
- To make the spicy tuna mixture: Open canned tuna and strain out as much of the liquids as possible using a fine sieve and a fork. Transfer strained tuna to a medium-sized bowl and mix with Japanese mayo, sriracha sauce, and salt. Evenly spread the spicy tuna mixture over the rice.
- Then peel and thinly slice avocados. Spread avocado slices over the tuna layer.
- Generously drizzle Japanese mayo and sriracha sauce over the avocado.
- Broil in oven for 10 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and golden brown. Remove from the oven and garnish with green onions.
- Slice the sushi bake with a wet knife into 20 pieces and scoop a portion of the filling into a small sheet of nori. Enjoy!

Notes
- To cook rice on the stove top using a pan
- Rinse rice under cold running water until it runs clear and then strain. Transfer strained rice to a medium-sized pot or pan, ideally non-stick.
- Then place your index finger above the rice and fill it with fresh cold water to the the first knuckle line of the finger.
- Cover with a lid and bring to a boil on medium heat. Then reduce to low heat and keep covered. Cook for 12-14 minutes until most of the water has evaporated. If there's water in the base of the pot, continue to cook on low until there isn't.
- Take the pot off the heat. Let this rest covered for another 10-12 minutes so the rice can properly cook through a steaming process. The finished rice will be sticky (not wet) and you should be able to fluff it with a rice paddle.
- Rinse rice in the rice cooker pot with cold running water until it runs clear. Strain out the water.
- Fill rice cooker pot with fresh cold water to the instructed water line in the pot.
- Press "steam" or "white rice" button on your rice cooker.
