Microwave already cooked, sticky white rice packages. Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Add microwaved, cooked rice and spread into a flat layer. Place in refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.
After rice has cooled, remove from pan and cut into squares. Heat oil in a frying pan on high heat. Fry each rice square for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Mix together diced tuna, mayo, sriracha, sesame oil, soy sauce and furikake.
Top crispy rice cakes with tuna, sliced avocado and sliced jalapeño. Dip in soy sauce and enjoy!
