Perfectly fried crispy rice cakes topped with a mound of spicy tuna and a thin slice of jalapeño.

A modern Japanese-American appetizer that has become a restaurant favorite, Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice is an incredible combination of textures and flavors. It features a pan-fried cake of sushi rice that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, topped with a creamy and spicy mixture of finely chopped sushi-grade tuna. Often garnished with a thin slice of jalapeño and a drizzle of soy sauce, it’s a dish that is both elegant and incredibly addictive. This recipe shows you how to make this popular dish at home. While it requires a few steps, including chilling the rice, the result is a truly impressive appetizer that is perfect for a party or a special night in.
