Crispy Rice With Spicy Tuna (nobu Copycat)
  1. Start the rice the day before or first thing in the morning - it needs minimum 4 hours to chill.

  2. Make the toppings first, then refrigerate while you cook the crispy rice cakes.

  3. Cook the crispy rice cakes and sprinkle with salt per the recipe.

  4. Assemble - Place rice cakes on a serving platter. Pile on toppings - I use teaspoons to make football shapes then slide on. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds, top with jalapeño. Eat!

  5. Nobu spicy tuna topping: Freeze to firm - Place tuna in the freezer for 30 minutes to partially freeze - it's much easier to finely chop when slightly firm.

  6. Cut into 0.5cm / ½" cubes - the smaller the better! Place into a bowl and let it de-chill for 20 minutes (not as nice ice-cold).

  7. Mix - Add everything into the tuna and mix until combined.

  8. Creamy canned tuna (sushi-roll filling style): Place tuna in a bowl and use a fork to mash it up really finely. Add everything else and mix well.
