Method

  1. Mix the drained tuna with the mayonnaise, Sriracha, salt and black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Fry the eggs and prepare the avocado, cucumber and seasoned rice before assembling.
  3. Dip 2 rice paper sheets in warm water and overlap them on a cutting board. Place 2 nori sheets on top.
  4. Cut 2 slits to create 4 folding sections. Put rice in one section, the tuna mixture opposite it, a fried egg in the third, and avocado and cucumber in the fourth. Add more Sriracha to the tuna if desired.
  5. Fold the filled sections over one another into a compact stacked square, following the sequence shown in the video: rice over avocado, that stack onto the tuna, tuna over the egg, egg over the rice, and finally rice over the cucumber.
  6. Wrap the square in 2 more moistened rice paper sheets, press to seal and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.
  7. Heat a layer of neutral oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the onigirazu on every side until sealed, golden and crisp.
  8. Transfer to a cutting board, slice in half and serve.
