Delicious and Simple Spicy Tuna Recipe: Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice Paper Bites!

If I were inviting someone over to my house that I really wanted to impress, these Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice Paper Bites what I would make for them! This spicy tuna recipe is so easy to make but so elevated at the same time, after making them once they’ll become part of your monthly rotation (maybe even weekly!).

The Secret to This Great Spicy Tuna Recipe

While this recipe is simple, it’s only as good as the ingredients you use. To make it delicious every time, make sure you’re using the freshest sushi grade tuna that you can get your hands on! Living on the Pacific Ocean, I have lucky access to some of the best seafood in the world, but being landlocked doesn’t mean that you can’t get great fish, too!

When shopping for sushi grade fish, there are a couple things that you can do. First, you can track down the seafood vendor that your favorite sushi restaurants are getting their fish from and find out if there are any grocery stores that they supply to.

If you don’t have any luck there, I always recommend going to your local organic grocery store, like Whole Foods, and asking for the sushi grade fish selection in the fish section. As an alternative, so stores will even sell frozen sushi grade fish in steaks or poke bowl kits that you can opt for as well.

Disclaimer: Consuming raw fish can make you sick; make sure that you do your research on where your fish is coming from, especially if you plan on eating it raw.

Spice Up Your Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice Bites!

If you don’t love spicy flavors, you can easily customize this recipe to make it less spicy by using less Sriracha and more Kewpie and soy sauce. On the other hand, if you love it when your spicy tuna provides a kick you can add in more Sriracha and even top it off with a thinly sliced jalapeno pepper!

If you’re serving these Spicy Tuna Bites at a party, I recommend doing half of them spicy, and half mild to cater to all of your guests! You can also add whatever toppings you like – I love the crunch of sesame seeds as a garnish, and think that cilantro adds an amazing depth to the dish, but you can garnish these with whatever your favorite toppings are!

How to Make This Spicy Tuna Recipe

These Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice Bites are so easy and fun to make – they come together as fast as they’ll get devoured! Here’s how to make them:

Prepare Your Crispy Rice Paper: In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat up enough neutral oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Cut your rice paper into fours and drop each one into the oil. The rice paper will puff up very fast, so you’ll want to have your tongs ready to remove it and place it on a plate with a paper towel to soak up any excess oil.

Chop Your Ahi: Finely dice up your spicy tuna – if you prefer cubes you can stop once they reach small cubes, or continue to dice until it reaches a fine tare tare consistency. Add your ahi to a bowl.

Add Your Flavor: To the same bowl your ahi is in, add your Kewpie mayo, Sriracha hot sauce, soy sauce, and green onions. Toss with a spoon until your ahi tuna is fully coated.

Assemble Your Spicy Tuna Bites: Spoon your spicy tuna onto your crispy rice paper pieces, then garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro. Serve and enjoy!
