For the rice bun:

2 cups short-grain Japanese rice, cooked

For the sushi patty:

1 pound fresh sushi-grade ahi tuna, chopped

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1/2 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon ginger, chopped

1/4 cup mayonnaise

For burger:

2 pieces red leaf lettuce

1 carrot, julienned

1 small cucumber, julienned

Directions

1. Cook rice according to the package directions and let cool. Mix in vinegar and sesame seeds. Wet hands and form into 4 equally sized patties.
