Toro Crispy Rice
Toro Crispy Rice… Toro is one of my absolute favorites, it is the fatty part or the tuna and as much as I love it raw, I feel like torching it ever so slightly does something very special to that fat ❤️.
Ingredients
- 8 oz bluefin toro chopped pretty small
- 1/4 cup japanese mayo
- 2.5 tbsp sriracha
- 1/4 cup chives
- 1 tsp tamari
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1.5 tbsp cane sugar + 1/2 tsp
- 1.5 cup calrose or sushi rice, I cooked mine on a rice cooker, so followed those directions
- 3 tbsp rice vinegar
- Pinch of salt
- Serrano peppers sliced, for topping
Instructions
- Cook your rice and season with a pinch of salt, rice vinegar and 1.5 tbsp sugar.
- Press into a large mold or a couple smaller ones for about 3/4-1 inch thickness. Press in real well and let sit in the freezer for 1 hour 30 minutes.
- Mix your toro, sriracha, Japanese mayo, sesame oil and chives well. Let sit in fridge for 15 minutes.
- Cut the rice into squares. Add some avocado oil to a pan (about 1/2 inch) and preheat on high for 2.5 minutes. Lower to medium and fry the rice until golden, about 10 minutes total. Do not mess with them. Yields about 14 squares.
- Pipe the toro onto the rice and lightly torch.
- Top with Serrano and serve with Tamari and lemon.
