Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk sriracha and mayo together in a small bowl until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Pat tuna dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Sear tuna 60 seconds per side without moving. Crust should form; center stays rare.

  5. Step 5

    Remove tuna to a cutting board. Let rest 1 minute, then slice into 1/4-inch pieces.

  6. Step 6

    Arrange rice cakes on a plate. Top each with sriracha mayo, a slice of tuna, and sesame seeds.

  7. Step 7

    Serve immediately while rice is still crispy.
