Crispy Rice Spicy Tuna

Comments are Disabled

Crispy rice spicy tuna is my absolute favorite appetizer to order at a Japanese restaurant. If it’s on the menu, I’m getting 3 orders of it! Something about the fried crispy rice topped with a really good marinated chopped up spicy tuna and fresh avocado is so addicting and satiating. It’s actually insane how expensive it costs for it though, I usually see it for $10 – $15 for just two small square pieces. I was in shock finding out how easy and much cheaper it is to make these beautiful bites of heaven at home.
