Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 1 lb. sushi-grade ahi tuna
  • 1/2 cup scallions
  • 1/2 cup tempura bread crumbs
  • 2 Tbsp. white miso paste
  • 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
  • 3 Tbsp. sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 Tbsp. lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 carrot
  • Furikake or sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together the soy sauce, orange juice, lime juice and rice vinegar in a shallow bowl. Dice the tuna into small cubes and place into the marinade. Cover and refrigerate.
  • To make the rice cakes, stir together the cooked sushi rice, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, miso paste and scallions. Wet your hands and form the mixture into 4 large balls.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Place the rice balls into the skillet and press down with a spatula to flatten. Fry until golden on each side. Remove onto a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Using a vegetable peeler, remove the skins from the cucumber and carrot. Run the peeler down each vegetable to create ribbons.
  • To serve, place one rice cake on a dish and top with tuna, vegetable ribbons and furikake.
