For the Tuna Mixture
- 8 oz fresh tuna, diced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
For the Rice
- 1 cup jasmine or sushi rice
- 2 cups water
For Serving
- Cook the rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it stand covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- Prepare the spicy tuna: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced fresh tuna with soy sauce and sriracha sauce. Stir gently to evenly coat the tuna pieces without breaking them down. Adjust the amount of sriracha depending on your desired spice level.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice evenly into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the spicy tuna mixture. Garnish with sliced avocado for creaminess and added texture. Optionally, you can add sesame seeds or chopped scallions for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy the spicy tuna bowls fresh to fully appreciate the delicate flavor and texture contrast between the spicy tuna, creamy avocado, and fluffy rice.
Notes
- Use sashimi-grade tuna to ensure freshness and safety when consuming raw fish.
- Adjust the sriracha quantity to suit your spice preference.
- For gluten-free version, use tamari instead of traditional soy sauce.
- Leftover rice can be refrigerated for up to 2 days but is best served fresh.
- Optional additions include cucumber slices, seaweed salad, or pickled ginger for more variety.
