Steps:
- Place the rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse until the water that runs out of the bottom is clear. This gets some of the starch out of the rice. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, 2 cups of water, mirin and rice vinegar. Cover and cook on low heat for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the salt and fluff the rice with a fork.
- Mince the tuna, The easiest way to do this is by using the pulse mode on a blender or food processor. In a medium bowl mix the tuna, mayonnaise and chili sauce. Stir in the green onions and hot sesame oil. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet to 350°. Wet your hands before working with the rice, it helps to keep the rice from sticking on your fingers. Scoop the rice into ¼ cup balls. Make sure the rice is packed tightly so it does not fall apart when it is fried. It helps to use a piece of cling wrap to mold it into a ball. Press the rice ball down so it is shaped like a tightly packed saucer. Fry only a few pieces of rice at a time in the pan. Cook, rotating so that the rice is golden brown on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Place each crispy rice on top of a leaf of butter lettuce (optional). Top each of the pieces of fried rice with a tablespoon size of the spicy tuna mixture. Top each crispy rice and spicy tuna with a slice of avocado, a slice of jalapeño and drizzle with eel sauce. Serve immediately.
