Ingredients
1 cup sushi rice
1 1/4 cups water
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces sushi-grade tuna, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 small green onion, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup diced cucumber
1/4 cup diced avocado
1/4 cup shredded carrot
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1 sheet nori, cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon pickled ginger (optional)
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.
Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender.
Remove from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let cool to room temperature.
In a medium bowl, combine diced tuna, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, green onion, and red pepper flakes. Stir gently to coat evenly. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to marinate.
Divide the seasoned rice evenly between two bowls.
Top each bowl with marinated tuna, diced cucumber, diced avocado, shredded carrot, toasted sesame seeds, nori strips, chopped cilantro, and pickled ginger if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your classic tuna poke bowl.
