Ingredients
Scale
For the Tuna Marinade
- 8 oz sushi-grade ahi tuna, cut into ½-inch cubes
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
- ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
For the Bowl
- ½ avocado, sliced
- ¼ cup cucumber, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup shredded carrots
- ¼ cup edamame, cooked and shelled
- 1 tablespoon green onion, sliced

Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sriracha (if using), and grated fresh ginger. Stir well to blend the flavors.
- Marinate the Tuna: Add the cubed ahi tuna to the marinade and gently toss to coat each piece evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Assemble the Bowl: Place the cooked sushi or brown rice into serving bowls as the base. Arrange the marinated tuna evenly on top of the rice.
- Add the Toppings: Layer sliced avocado, thin cucumber slices, shredded carrots, cooked edamame, and sliced green onions over the tuna.
- Finish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the assembled bowls. Serve immediately with extra soy sauce or spicy mayo on the side for added flavor, if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor and variety, add mango chunks, seaweed salad, or pickled ginger as toppings.
- Use cauliflower rice instead of sushi rice for a low-carb version of this dish.
- Always use high-quality, sushi-grade tuna to ensure safety and the best taste.
