Crispy Rice Tuna Burger

Let's Cook

1. 1Prepare the Rice Base

   10 min

   Cook the rice according to package instructions and let it cool. Once cooled, mix the rice with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Spread the rice mixture into a flat layer in a baking dish and press down firmly. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes to set.

   💡

   Pressing the rice firmly helps it hold together when frying.

2. 2Fry the Rice

   8 min

   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cut the rice into circles using a bowl or cookie cutter. Fry the rice circles in the skillet until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

   💡

   Make sure the skillet is hot enough to get a nice crispy texture.

3. 3Prepare the Tuna Filling

   Dice the ahi tuna into small cubes and place it in a bowl. Add salt, black pepper, and the spicy orange sauce to the tuna and mix gently until well combined.

   💡

   Use fresh, sushi-grade tuna for the best flavor and safety.

4. 4Assemble the Burger

   On each crispy rice circle, spread a layer of spicy orange sauce. Top with a generous amount of the diced tuna, followed by slices of avocado and red onion. Finish with another crispy rice circle on top to create a sandwich.

   Layering the ingredients adds flavor and texture.
