Heat a mini waffle maker and grease it with cooking spray. Fill the waffle maker with half the rice mixture and cook until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining rice mixture. Set the rice waffles aside.

Combine the tuna cubes, remaining rice vinegar, soy sauce, sriracha, and honey in a large bowl. Mix well.

To assemble the waffles, put small dollops of wasabi into the waffle crevices if desired.

Top the waffles with the tuna mixture, sprinkle sesame seeds, and drizzle with kewpie mayonnaise and additional sriracha.

Add the diced cucumber, sliced green onion, and crumbled nori sheet. Then enjoy!
