Ingredients

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1.25 cups water
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 can canned tuna (in water), drained
• 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 0.5 cucumber, thinly sliced
• 2 seaweed sheets (nori), crumbled
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sriracha mayo
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons neutral oil (e.g., canola or grapeseed oil)
• 2 scallions, finely sliced

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and 1.25 cups of water in a pot. Bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit for 10 minutes, covered.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold the mixture into the cooked rice while fanning it to cool down. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spread the cooked sushi rice evenly into a round pizza-like shape (about 10-inch diameter). Press the rice down with a spatula to form a cohesive crust.

Step 4

Cook the rice crust for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and let it cool slightly on a plate or cutting board.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of sriracha mayo over the crispy rice base.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the drained tuna and chopped shrimp over the base for a protein-packed topping.

Step 7

Arrange the avocado slices, cucumber slices, and crumbled nori over the seafood layers.

Step 8

Drizzle soy sauce over the toppings for added umami and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions.

Step 9

Cut into wedges like a pizza and serve immediately. Enjoy your High Protein Sushi Pizza!
