2 Cups Sushi rice, cooked according to package instructions
1 tbsp rice vinegar
½ tbsp mirin
½ tsp sesame oil
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
Mix the rice seasoning together and incorporate into the cooked rice
Put two pieces of plastic wrap over a small rectangular baking sheet
Spread the rice evenly, cover with the extra plastic wrap and then use a heavy pan or roller to flatten and even out the rice.
Put the rice tray in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Cut two yellowfin tuna steaks into small pieces and in a bowl add:
1 green onion finely shopped
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp japanese mayom or more depending the texture you want
½ tsp sesame oil
A few squirts of sriracha depending on how spicy you want it
A sprinkle of black sesame seeds

The rice will be sticky so wet your knife between each cut.

Fry the rice pieces in oil until they are crispy on both sides and let them drain on a paper towel lined dish.

Add a spoon of the tuna mix on each piece of rice and top with green onion or a slice of jalapeno.
