Simple Tuna Poke Bowl
4

minutes20-30
minutesIngredients
1 pound cubed poke tuna (thawed outside of package)
2 cups sushi rice
rice vinegar and/or mirin rice wine, sparingly, to taste
1 cucumber, sliced
1 avocado, sliced
8oz seaweed salad
2 tbsp sesame seeds
spicy mayo / sriracha sauce of your choosing
Directions
Thaw the tuna: Frozen tuna is the safest option for raw consumption; make sure to thaw out of the package in your refrigerator for ~24 hours prior to making your bowls! It is very important to cut the tuna out of its package prior to thawing.
Cook the rice: Using a rice cooker, ideally, set your rice to cook. White sushi rice is the best option for this dish, but make sure to adjust your water-to-rice ratio based on what type you have available.
Prepare your toppings: Slice your cucumber and avocado to your preferred thickness and set aside. If you prefer making your own spicy mayo as we do, take this time to mix your sriracha sauce and mayo together. Toss tuna in sesame seeds to coat to desired texture.
Portion and serve: Once your rice is done cooking, and still warm, add rice vinegar and/or mirin rice wine to taste (use sparingly, as it has a strong flavor). Portion your rice and tuna equally among 4 bowls, and layer toppings as desired. Garnish with sauce and extra sesame seeds if desired. Take a moment to eat with your eyes, and then dig in!
