Preparing the Sushi Rice

Start by cooking 100 grams of sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool to room temperature.

Making the Tuna Poke

In a mixing bowl, combine 50 grams of diced fresh tuna, 30 grams of sliced avocado, 20 grams of corn kernels, and 5 grams of crumbled seaweed sheets. Gently toss the mixture until well combined.

Assembling the Rice Cakes

Take one rice cake per serving, and evenly spread the cooled sushi rice over the top? making sure to press down lightly so it sticks. Next, spoon the tuna poke mixture onto the rice-covered rice cake. Drizzle with soy sauce to taste, and sprinkle over sesame seeds for garnish. Optionally, you may add a dollop of mayonnaise and some chopped green onions for additional flavor and texture.
