Instructions

Step 1

Place some rice into the bottom of your preferred rice mold, to about halfway full. (If you prefer, you can mold the rice with your hands rather than a mold

Step 2

Make a small indention in the middle of the rice and fill it with a small amount of the spicy tuna and some avocado

Step 3

Finish filling the mold with rice and close it tight. A helpful tip is to stick the mold in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes before taking the rice out, to help the rice hold the shape better

Step 4

If you are adding Sushi Nori, add it to the mold however you please. I cut mine into strips and wrap them around or partially around the molded rice
