WeightWatchers Ahi Sushi Cups Recipe
 
Author:
Recipe type: Appetizer
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 pound raw sushi-grade ahi tuna, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 cup sushi rice, rinsed well
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 8 tsp. rice vinegar, divided
  • 1 ounce ⅓-less-fat cream cheese, softened
  • cooking spray
  • 1 Tbsp. salt, divided
  • 1 tsp. dark sesame oil
  • 2 Tbsp. lower-sodium soy sauce
  • ½ cup cucumber (cubed, seeded and peeled)
  • ¼ tsp. crushed red pepper
  • 1 large avocado (peeled and diced)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ Tbsp. black sesame seeds, lightly toasted
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with 1¼ cups water over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes (until the liquid is absorbed) - do not uncover while cooking! Remove the pan from the heat and let stand, covered, for about 10 minutes.
  2. While the rice stands, combine the sugar and 2 tablespoons vinegar in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for about 30 - 45 seconds (until boiling). Stir the mixture with a whisk until the sugar dissolves. Add ½ teaspoon salt and the cream cheese to the bowl, stirring with a whisk to combine. Gently fold the vinegar mixture into the rice using a rubber or wooden spatula; let stand for about 5 minutes.
  3. Generously coat 12 muffin cups with cooking spray. Lightly coat each of the 12 (5-inch square) parchment paper pieces with cooking spray; press the paper squares into the muffin cups to form a liner. Using your moistened hands, press the rice mixture evenly along the bottom and sides of the muffin cups (about 21/2 tablespoons rice per cup). Refrigerate for about 30 - 40 minutes.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the red pepper, oil, soy sauce, remaining ½ tsp. salt and remaining 2 tsp. vinegar, stirring with a whisk. Add the tuna, avocado, onions and cucumber to the bowl, tossing gently to combine.
  5. Divide the tuna mixture evenly among the rice cups; sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds. Gently remove the cups from the pan by lifting the parchment paper edges.
