Because really, what is nicer than crispy rice? Top yours with whatever you like - super fresh fish would be nice of course, but we've gone for fancy tuna mixed with Japanese mayonnaise and sriracha for a bit of a kick.

Method

  • Cook the sushi rice to packet instructions and season it with the right amount of sweetened sushi vinegar.
  • Allow it to cool down and press it into a 20cm cake tin, then leave to cool in the fridge.
  • Cut into triangles (as you would a pizza), spray with oil and air fry until golden and crispy - on the highest setting for around five minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the tuna and the mayonnaise and sriracha.
  • Spread the tuna on top of the (cooled) crispy rice triangles in a pizza shape. Top with avocado, nori, sesame, fried onions and any other sushi accoutrements you might like.
  • What do you think of the recipe?
