POKE BALL RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Place rice in a colander, and rinse under cold water until water runs clear, about 5 times. Transfer rice to a medium saucepan, and add 1 1/4 cup water; bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until rice is tender but not mushy, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat; leave covered, and set aside at room temperature for 10 minutes. Transfer to a glass bowl when cooled.
• Stir together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a microwavable bowl. Microwave on high until sugar and salt dissolve, about 1 minute. Add half of the vinegar mixture to the rice, and toss gently to coat. Set remaining vinegar mixture aside.
• Stir together mayonnaise, Sriracha, soy sauce, lemon juice, and sesame oil in a medium bowl; add chopped tuna, and toss to coat. Add tuna mixture to rice, and gently toss to combine. Wet hands with remaining vinegar mixture, and form rice and tuna mixture into 1-inch balls, pressing to firmly pack. Transfer to a platter, and garnish with eel sauce, pickled ginger, wasabi paste, and furikake, if desired.

Steps:

• Put the rice in a small bowl. Cover with cold water and massage with your hands to remove the starch. Drain and put the rice in a small saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Cover with a fingertip depth of cold water and simmer over a medium heat with the lid on for 10 mins. Remove from the heat and leave to steam with the lid on for another 15 mins, then stir through the rice wine vinegar.
• Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise with the shichimi togarashi in a small bowl and set aside. Put the tuna on a chopping board, cut into roughly 1cm cubes, then sprinkle liberally with flaky sea salt.
• In a large bowl, mix the sesame oil, soy sauce, lime juice and chilli flakes. Add the tuna chunks and stir well, so that every piece is coated in the dressing.
• To assemble, put a mound of rice in two bowls. Top each with half an avocado, the tuna and dressing, cherry tomatoes and nori. Sprinkle over the chopped nuts and spring onions, and finish with a spoonful of the spicy mayo.
