Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice
These heart-shaped spicy tuna crispy rice bites are perfect for a Valentine's Day treat!
Ingredients
- 200g leftover rice
Tuna Topping
- 200g tuna
- 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon jalapeños from a tin or fresh, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- pinch sea salt
Extra Toppings
- 1 teaspoon mild chilli flakes
- 1 teaspoon garlic flakes
- 2 teaspoon chopped coriander
Instructions
- Get your leftover rice and your heart-shaped tin. Add a quarter of your rice to one of the tins and compress the rice down into the tin. Repeat this step for all 4 tins and then place them into the freezer for 20 minutes or until hard on the outside.
- Meanwhile, combine all of your tuna topping ingredients in a bowl and mix them together. Set aside.
- Once your rice is hard, gently pop them out of its tins. Place a non-stick frying pan on high heat and drizzle in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add in your rice hearts and leave to fry for 5 minutes on high heat or until it's golden on the bottom. You should know that they're ready because you'll be able to see golden bits on the edges of the underside of your rice hearts. Once golden flip over and fry for a further 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and serve up with your tuna topping, chilli flakes, garlic flakes, and coriander. Enjoy!
