Time 1h55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup sushi rice, rinsed
1 ¼ cups water
8 teaspoons rice vinegar, divided
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 ounce 1/3 less fat cream cheese at room temperature
1 tablespoon kosher salt, divided
cooking spray
2 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 pound sushi-grade ahi tuna, cubed
½ cup cucumber - peeled, seeded, and diced
2 medium green onions, thinly sliced
1 large avocado, diced
½ tablespoon black sesame seeds, lightly toasted

Steps:

  • Combine rice and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes (do not uncover while cooking.) Remove pan from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
  • While rice stands, combine 2 tablespoons vinegar and sugar in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave on high until boiling, 30 to 45 seconds. Stir mixture with a whisk until sugar dissolves. Add cream cheese and 1/2 teaspoon salt to bowl, stirring with a whisk to combine. Gently fold vinegar mixture into rice using a rubber spatula; let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Generously coat 12 muffin cups with cooking spray. Lightly coat each of 12 (5-inch square) parchment paper pieces with cooking spray; press paper squares into muffin cups to form a liner. Using moistened hands, press rice mixture evenly along bottom and sides of muffin cups (about 2 1/2 tablespoons rice per cup). Refrigerate for 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Combine remaining 2 teaspoons vinegar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add tuna, cucumber, green onions, and avocado to bowl. Toss gently to combine.
  • Divide tuna mixture evenly among rice cups; sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds. Gently remove cups from pan by lifting parchment paper edges.

3/4 cup sushi rice
kosher salt
6 ounces fresh ahi tuna, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 English cucumber, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 6 ounces)
3/4 of an avocado, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 scallions, very thinly sliced on the bias
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Wet your hands before handling the rice to prevent it from sticking.
  • Be gentle when rolling the sushi cups to avoid tearing the nori.
  • If you're using a sharp knife to cut the sushi cups, be sure to wet the knife first to prevent it from sticking.
  • Serve the sushi cups with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, wasabi, or eel sauce.
