Ahi Sushi Cups Recipes

AHI SUSHI CUPS

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.

NO-ROLL SUSHI CUPS

Steps:

• Bring 1 ? cups water to a boil over high heat. Add rice and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir and cover. Reduce to low and steam until rice is very tender, about 20 minutes. Let sit an additional 5 minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork.
• Cut twelve 5-inch squares of parchment. Center one square over the cup of a 12-cup muffin tin. When rice is cool to the touch but still warm, spoon 2 rounded tablespoons into paper. Using wet fingers, press rice on the bottom, against, and up the sides of the muffin tin to form a rice cup. Repeat with remaining rice and additional pieces of parchment. You should use entire portion of steamed rice.
• Combine ahi tuna, cucumber, avocado, scallions, and rice wine vinegar in a large bowl. Gently fold to combine. Divide mixture among rice cups. Top with sesame seeds and toasted nori, and serve immediately, with soy sauce, wasabi, and ginger.
