A fresh and flavorful classic tuna poke bowl featuring marinated sushi-grade tuna, served over a bed of seasoned sushi rice with crisp vegetables and a savory soy-based dressing.
Ingredients
1 cup sushi rice
1 1/4 cups water
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces sushi-grade tuna, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1/4 cup diced avocado
1 sheet nori seaweed, cut into thin strips
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Combine the rinsed rice and 1 1/4 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes or until the water is absorbed and rice is tender.
Remove from heat and let rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, granulated sugar, and salt until dissolved.
Transfer cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow to cool to room temperature.
In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, honey, and grated fresh ginger.
Add the cubed tuna to the marinade and toss gently to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
Divide the sushi rice evenly between two bowls.
Top each bowl with marinated tuna, cucumber slices, shredded carrots, diced avocado, and sliced green onions.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and nori strips over the bowls.
Serve immediately.
