Nobu spicy tuna (raw):
  • 225g / 7oz sashimi grade tuna , or salmon (Note 1)
  • 1 tbsp sriracha , adjust spiciness to taste (Note 2)
  • 4 tsp kewpie mayonnaise (Note 3)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp cooking salt
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped green onion
  • 1 tsp white sesame seeds
  • 1/2 tsp black sesame seeds , divided
Creamy spicy canned tuna topping:

  • 3 tbsp sriracha (Note 2)
  • 4 tbsp kewpie mayonnaise (Note 3)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (sub rice vinegar)

  • 1/2 tsp cooking/kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
  • 2 tsp white sesame seeds , optional
  • 1 1/2 tsp black sesame seeds , divided
Instructions
Make crispy rice (need minimum 4hrs; 6+ hrs preferred)

Nobu spicy tuna topping:
  1. Freeze to firm - Place tuna in the freezer for 30 minutes to partially freeze - it's much easier to finely chop when slightly firm.
  2. Cut into 0.5cm / 1/2" cubes - the smaller the better! Place into a bowl and let it de-chill for 20 minutes (not as nice ice-cold).
  3. Mix - Add everything into the tuna and mix until combined.
Creamy canned tuna (sushi-roll filling style):
  1. Place tuna in a bowl and use a fork to mash it up really finely. Add everything else and mix well.
