Description

A flavorful and healthy Spicy Tuna Rice Bowl made with sushi-grade tuna, seasoned rice, and spicy mayo, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 6 oz sushi-grade tuna, diced
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 sheet nori, cut into thin strips
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, chopped


Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with water in a pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir into the cooked rice and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix diced tuna with mayonnaise, Sriracha, and soy sauce until evenly coated.
  4. To assemble the bowl, divide the seasoned rice into serving bowls.
  5. Top each bowl with spicy tuna, avocado slices, cucumber, shredded carrots, and nori strips.
  6. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Use sushi-grade tuna for safety and best flavor.
  • You can adjust the amount of Sriracha to control the heat level.
  • Substitute with cooked shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
