Ingredients

  • 2 cups sushi rice, cooked and cooled
  • 8 oz sushi-grade ahi tuna, 1-inch thick
  • 2 sheet nori (seaweed sheets)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sriracha or chili paste
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and ginger in a small bowl until combined.

  2. 2

    Pat tuna dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over high heat until it shimmers.

  3. 3

    Sear tuna 60 seconds per side without moving—center should stay rare. Transfer to a cutting board.

  4. 4

    Slice tuna against the grain into 1/4-inch strips. Tear nori into bite-sized pieces.

  5. 5

    Divide sushi rice between two bowls. Top with tuna, nori, and a drizzle of the spicy soy sauce.

Tools you’ll need
