January's Recipe: Spicy Tuna Rice Burger

Spicy Tuna Rice Burger with Avocado and a Nori Wrap!

Spicy Tuna Rice Burger

Cook white rice.

Mix together:

2 cups tuna (I used 2 cans of albacore tuna)

3 tbsp. mayo (I used what I had left)

1 tbsp. sesame oil

1 1/2 tsp. chili oil

1/2 tsp. white pepper (I didn't have white pepper so I just left if out, though I think you could use any kind of pepper if you wanted too)

1 tbsp lemon juice

2 scallions - chopped

Form a round "bun" out of rice -- do this by placing rice in a small plastic wrap lined ramekin, and press it firmly together.

Remove rice bun and place in a pan with tbsp. of sesame oil and cook (you’ll need 2 of these to make one burger).

Using a pastry brush, brush the side of the rice bun not on the pan with sesame oil, and then with soy sauce ... flip and do the other side with soy sauce (repeat a few times, until it’s “done”).

Remove from pan and place the lower half of one rice buns on the edge of a sheet of seaweed (nori).

Place tuna, a few slices of avocado and some Sriracha sauce on it, and then place the second bun on tope.

Fold the seaweed up and around the bottom half of the burger.

Enjoy.
