  • ¼ cup (60 grams, 2.11 ounces) Korean or Japanese mayonnaise or other mayonnaise of your choice

Instructions

For the Tuna
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna, mayonnaise, chili paste (if using), and salt and pepper. Set aside.
For the Rice
  1. Rinse the sushi rice under room temperature water until the water becomes clear. Drain well.
  2. Place rinsed and drained rice in a medium sized saucepan and add the water. Make sure the rice sits evenly along the bottom of the saucepan.
  3. Bring the rice and water to a boil over medium to high heat. Once at a boil, reduce the heat to low to bring it to a simmer.
  4. Gently stir the rice, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. Turn off heat and allow the rice to rest, covered, for a further 15 minutes. Allow the rice to cool before using.
Putting It All Together
  1. In a medium sized serving bowl, place some rice, then top with some of the tuna mixture. Garnish with a drizzle of mayonnaise, a fried egg, toasted sesame seeds, and green onions, and nori (seaweed sheets) if desired.
