Steps:
- For the spicy citrus sauce: Place bonito flakes in a small bowl and cover with 3 tablespoons hot water. Allow to sit for 10 minutes, then strain through a fine-meshed sieve, squeezing out as much liquid as possible.
- Transfer liquid to a blender. Add egg yolk, lime juice, orange juice, sriracha and salt. Pulse to mix. With blender running at medium-high speed, slowly drizzle in the oil until mixture is thickened. Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- For the tuna: Pour oil to a depth of three inches in a heavy, deep saucepan and heat to 400 degrees on a deep-fat thermometer. Meanwhile, combine egg whites and cornstarch in a shallow bowl, and whisk until smooth. Coat tuna pieces in mixture, then dredge in rice-cracker crumbs, making sure surface is covered.
- Carefully transfer tuna to hot oil, turning once, until deep golden brown, about 15 seconds a side; tuna should remain rare in center. Remove carefully and drain on paper towels. Cut tuna crosswise into 1-inch pieces, and arrange decoratively on serving plates. Stir scallions into citrus sauce, and spoon onto plates. Serve immediately.

SPICY TUNA RICE BOWL
What we have here is equal parts tuna and rice by weight, which for me, gives this the perfect balance between protein and starch. While this may remind some people of a fried rice dish, this is significantly lighter, and actually very low on the fat content, but that doesn't mean it's not satisfying, and like most rice dishes, it's very comforting.

Steps:
- Pour rice into a heavy pot and add water; swirl to allow rice to settle. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat; do not stir. Reduce heat to low, cover, and continue to simmer for 15 minutes.
- While rice is cooking, place tuna into a large mixing bowl and break up with your hands or a fork. Toss in red bell pepper, jalapeno, 1/4 cup green onions, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, and lemon juice. Mix with a fork until thoroughly combined.
- Turn off heat and let rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Fluff rice with a fork to separate the grains and break up any large clumps; transfer into the mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with a spoon until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold like a rice salad, topped with red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon green onion.
