A quick and easy recipe featuring sushi-grade tuna, fluffy rice, fresh veggies, and a creamy spicy sauce for a bold and comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb sushi-grade tuna, cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup short-grain white rice, cooked
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, grated or julienned
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • Sesame seeds, toasted for garnish
  • Nori sheets, torn (optional)
  • Optional toppings: pickled ginger, wasabi, furikake

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup of short-grain rice thoroughly until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions or use a rice cooker. Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.
  2. Cut 1 lb of sushi-grade tuna into small cubes. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sriracha, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar. Toss the tuna in the marinade and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, mix 3 tbsp mayonnaise with 1 tbsp sriracha and a splash of water to thin it out. Adjust the spice level to your preference.
  4. Thinly slice 1 cucumber and 2 green onions. Grate or julienne 1 medium carrot. Dice 1 avocado. Set aside all toppings for easy assembly.
  5. Optional: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated tuna for about 30 seconds on each side, just until the edges are cooked but the center remains rare.
  6. Divide the cooked rice into serving bowls. Layer the marinated (or seared) tuna over the rice. Arrange the sliced cucumber, grated carrot, and diced avocado neatly around the tuna.
  7. Spoon the creamy sriracha mayo over the top of each bowl. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and green onions.
  8. Optional: Add torn nori sheets, a dollop of wasabi, or some pickled ginger for extra zing.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Spicy Tuna Rice Bowls.
