Prepare the Sushi Rice

  • Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rice and water.
    Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed.

    Spread the sushi rice evenly in the bottom of a greased baking dish.
    Layer the sliced avocado and julienned cucumber over the rice.
    Evenly distribute the tuna mixture over the top.

Prepare the Crunch Topping

  • In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture over the tuna layer.

Bake
