What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 300 g sushi-grade tuna diced
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 1 cup shelled edamame cooked
- 1 whole large carrot julienned
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Mix the Spicy Marinade
Whisk together the sriracha sauce and soy sauce in a medium bowl until fully combined. Add the diced tuna and gently toss to coat evenly without breaking the pieces apart.
Step 2: Rest the Tuna
Cover the marinated tuna and place it in the refrigerator to rest for 10 minutes. This allows the fish to absorb the spicy seasoning without overcooking in the acid.
Step 3: Build the Bowl Base
Divide the cooked jasmine rice evenly between two bowls, pressing it gently to form a stable base. Arrange the edamame and julienned carrots around the edges of the rice.
Step 4: Top and Serve
Spoon the marinated spicy tuna over the center of each bowl. Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions then serve immediately.
