Equipment

Ingredients

For the spicy tuna:

  • 185 gram tin tuna in spring water drained
  • 2 tablespoons kewpie mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha plus extra to serve
  • 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar

For the bowls:

  • cups cooked sushi rice see notes
  • ½ cucumber sliced
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1 cup shelled edamame cooked
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • seasoned roasted seaweed to serve

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the drained 185 gram tin tuna in spring water, 2 tablespoons kewpie mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sriracha and 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar. Mix until well combined.
  • Divide the 1½ cups cooked sushi rice between two serving bowls.
  • Arrange the ½ cucumber, 1 avocado and 1 cup shelled edamame around the rice. Spoon the spicy tuna mixture over the top.
  • Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sesame seeds and drizzle with extra sriracha. Serve immediately with seasoned roasted seaweed pieces for scooping.

Notes

Rice: short grain sushi rice gives the best texture, but jasmine rice also works if that is what you have on hand.
You can optionally season the rice for extra flavour, using a store bought sushi rice seasoning or making your own;
  • Once the rice is cooked, stir together 2 teaspoons rice vinegar, ½ teaspoon sugar and a pinch of salt, then mix it through the warm rice before serving.
Spice level: Adjust the amount of sriracha to suit your preferred level of heat.
Gluten free option: use tamari or a gluten free soy sauce.
Storage: leftover tuna mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Assemble the bowls just before serving.
