# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The spicy tuna dressing is dangerously addictive and youll want to put it on everything
- It comes together in under 30 minutes but looks like something from a fancy restaurant
02 -
- Always buy sushi-grade tuna from a source you trust, never regular raw tuna from the grocery store
- The rice needs to be completely cool before adding the toppings or it will cook the fish slightly
03 -
- Toast your sesame seeds in a dry pan for 2 minutes to bring out their nutty flavor
- Let the spicy tuna marinate for at least 15 minutes but not more than an hour
