Method
01
Place the sushi rice in a mixing bowl and cover with cold water. Gently move the rice in the bowl with the back of your hand to wash the rice. The water will turn cloudy. Drain the water and repeat this process until the water runs clear, about 8-10 times. Transfer the washed rice into a strainer and allow to sit for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
02
Place the rinsed rice in a 2 quart sauce pot and cover with 2½ cups of water. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce the heat to very low. Allow the rice to cook for 20 minutes, then remove from the heat and set aside for 25 minutes, leaving the lid on. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and gently mix in the sushi rice vinegar. Cover with a towel and keep at room temperature..
03
Slice the scallion tops and dice the scallion bottoms. Remove the tuna from its package and lay onto a paper towel-lined plate. Dice fish into bite-sized cubes. Place in a medium mixing bowl, add the sesame seed mix and scallion bottoms. Grate the garlic and ginger into a bowl. Season with salt and Tamari & Yuzu dressing. Mix well, then add to the bowl with the fish. Cover with plastic wrap and set in your fridge to marinate.
04
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, vinegar, Sriracha, and a Pinch of truffle salt or flaky sea salt until frothy. Very slowly drizzle in the grapeseed oil, whisking continuously, to make the Sriracha mayo. Slice cucumber into rings. Cut the mushrooms into 1” pieces. Season edamame with salt and pepper.
