Notes

Meal Prep Tips:

Make-Ahead Instructions:

- Prepare the Tuna Mixture:
Make the tuna mixture beforehand, and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Store before Baking:
Suppose you want to avoid baking it ahead of time. Layer the cauliflower, tuna, mayo, and hot and spicy BBQ sauce in your baking dish. Store it in the refrigerator until you can pop it in the oven or air fryer. Finish with furikake after baking.
- Microwave before enjoying:
If you are storing baked sushi and not enjoying it immediately, warm it up in the microwave when ready to enjoy!
