Crispy Tuna Rice Bites

1: Make your sushi rice according to the package instructions.

2: Once the rice is done cooking, add in rice vinegar, liquid sweetener of choice, and salt, then mix thoroughly.

3: In an 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan, add a large layer of plastic wrap and dump in the cooked sushi rice.

4: Pat down the rice until evenly spread across the pan and as flat as possible.

5: Freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight until the center of the rice is completely hard.

6: Finely chop sushi-grade tuna and combine it with mayonnaise and sriracha, adjusting spice to preference.

7: Once rice is frozen, use the plastic wrap to remove it from the pan and cut into even squares.

8: In a pan, add about ½ inch of oil and once it's warm, place the rice squares in the oil.

9: Fry each side of the rice until golden brown and pat dry with a paper towel after removing from oil.

10: Thinly slice avocado and jalapeno, then top each square of crispy rice with avocado, a scoop of tuna, and a slice of jalapeno.

11: Enjoy with soy sauce.
