Notes
- If you are making this recipe for only 2, halve the ingredients. For example, you will only use one 6oz sushi tuna steak and only a 1/2 a cup of dry rice.
- You can substitute sushi grade salmon or sushi grade yellowtail for this recipe
- Only use sushi grade fish for this recipe. This means the fish was handled and frozen in a specific way to sushi standards. If you use non-sushi grade fish, you can become ill.
- Defrost the sushi grade fish according to package instruction
- If you make the spicy tuna stacks in advance, keep them in an airtight container for up to two days. Avocado should be used fresh or it will brown.
