Description

A quick and nutritious sushi bowl featuring canned tuna, vibrant toppings, and a flavorful bang bang sauce.


Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked sushi rice (seasoned with rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and a pinch of sugar)
  • ½ cup bang bang sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cans of tuna (drained)
  • Sriracha sauce (to taste)
  • Furikake (a Japanese seasoning)
  • 1 large avocado (sliced or diced)
  • 4 sprigs scallions (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)


Instructions

  1. Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions, then season with rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar.
  2. In a bowl, mix the drained tuna with bang bang sauce and set aside.
  3. Chop scallions and slice the avocado while the rice is cooking.
  4. For optional pan-frying, heat olive oil in a skillet and cook the sushi rice until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook briefly.
  5. Assemble the bowl with sushi rice as the base, topped with bang bang tuna, avocado, scallions, and additional toppings as desired. Finish with furikake and a drizzle of Sriracha.

Notes

For a lighter version, swap sushi rice with cauliflower rice. Keep leftovers separated to maintain freshness.
