Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb sushi-grade ahi tuna, cubed into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice or jasmine rice (or cauliflower rice for low-carb option)
  • 1 avocado, cubed
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced or julienned
  • 1 cup edamame
  • Nori sheets, cut into thin strips
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Optional toppings: pickled ginger, radishes, seaweed salad, chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Cube the sushi-grade ahi tuna into bite-sized pieces and set aside in a mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, and rice vinegar to make the marinade. Pour the marinade over the tuna, gently tossing to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Prepare the rice according to package instructions. Allow it to cool slightly before assembling the bowls.
  4. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or matchsticks, cube the avocado, and thinly slice the green onions. Prep additional toppings like radishes or pickled ginger if desired.
  5. Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls. Top each bowl with marinated tuna, avocado cubes, cucumber slices, edamame, and chosen toppings. Add a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and nori strips.
  6. Drizzle extra marinade or sriracha over the bowl for a spicy finish. Serve with extra soy sauce on the side.
