Ingredients
1/2 pound high-quality sushi-grade tuna, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 cup scallions, finely sliced
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon sriracha
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
2 teaspoons sriracha sauce
1 cup cooked short-grain brown or sushi rice, cooled
1/2 ripe avocado, sliced
1/2 Persian cucumber, sliced
1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the cubed tuna, sliced scallions, tamari or soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of sriracha; toss gently to coat and let marinate for 5 to 10 minutes.
Prepare the spicy mayo by whisking together the light mayonnaise and 2 teaspoons of sriracha in a small dish until smooth.
Divide the cooled rice between two serving bowls as a base.
Top the rice with the marinated tuna mixture, avocado slices, and cucumber slices.
Drizzle the prepared spicy mayo over the top of each bowl.
Garnish with black sesame seeds and extra scallions if desired.
Notes
Ensure the tuna is sourced from a reputable fishmonger and explicitly labeled as sushi-grade for safety. Adjust the sriracha levels in both the marinade and the mayo based on your personal heat preference. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for no more than 24 hours, though this dish is best consumed fresh.
