Ingredients

• 3 cups Cauliflower rice
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 1 Egg
• 4 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 6 ounces Sushi-grade tuna
• 1 tablespoon Coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha (Paleo-friendly)
• 2 tablespoons Avocado mayonnaise (Paleo-friendly)
• 1 stalk Green onion
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 Avocado
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Place the cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, coconut flour, egg, and salt. Mix until the mixture holds together.

Step 3

Shape the cauliflower mixture into small rectangular patties about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, fry the cauliflower patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy. Add more coconut oil as needed for additional batches. Set them aside to cool on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 5

Dice the sushi-grade tuna into small cubes and place it in a bowl.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, Paleo-friendly sriracha, avocado mayonnaise, and sesame oil. Pour this mixture over the diced tuna and toss to coat evenly.

Step 7

Thinly slice the green onion and dice the avocado. Set them aside for garnish.

Step 8

To assemble, place a spoonful of the spicy tuna mixture on top of each crispy cauliflower rice patty.

Step 9

Top with sliced green onion, diced avocado, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice!
