Evenly grease a 9 x 9-inch baking dish with 1 tsp using a paper towel.
Cook short grain 1 tbsp rice according to package instructions in your rice cooker or on the stove top.
Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
To season the rice: Transfer cooked hot rice to a large bowl. Season rice with ½ tsp salt, 2 tsp sugar and 1 tbsp rice vinegar and mix with a rice paddle. Then evenly spread the rice and firmly pack the rice into the baking dish.
Sprinkle 1 tsp sesame seeds and 1 tbsp furikake over the seasoned rice.
To make the spicy 15 ⅞ oz tuna mixture: Open canned tuna and strain out as much of the liquids as possible using a fine sieve and a fork. Transfer strained tuna to a medium-sized bowl and mix with 4-5 tbsp Japanese mayo, 1-2 tbsp sriracha sauce, and ¼ tsp salt. Evenly spread the spicy tuna mixture over the 1 tbsp rice.
Peel and thinly slice 4 medium avocados. Spread 4 medium avocado slices over the 15 ⅞ oz tuna layer.
Generously drizzle 2-3 tbsp Japanese mayo and 2-3 tbsp sriracha sauce over the avocado.
Broil in oven for 10 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and golden brown. Remove from the oven and garnish with 1 green onions.
