Ingredients
Scale
Rice Base
- 1 cup sushi rice, cooked and cooled
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Tuna Marinade
- 6 ounces sushi-grade ahi tuna, diced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
Salad Components
- 1/2 avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup cucumber, sliced thin
- 1/4 cup edamame, shelled and cooked
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Mixed salad greens (such as arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sushi Rice: In a small bowl, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir this mixture into the cooked and cooled sushi rice thoroughly. Allow the rice to cool slightly to absorb the flavors.
- Marinate the Tuna: In a separate bowl, toss the diced ahi tuna with soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha if using. Let it marinate for 5 to 10 minutes to enhance the flavor.
- Assemble the Salad Bowl: Start by placing a layer of mixed salad greens into your serving bowl. Add a serving of the seasoned sushi rice on top. Arrange the marinated tuna, diced avocado, shredded carrots, thin cucumber slices, cooked edamame, and sliced green onions over the rice. Finish by sprinkling sesame seeds on top. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
Notes
- For added crunch, top with crispy wontons or seaweed snacks.
- Feel free to swap the tuna for cooked shrimp, tofu, or salmon to suit your preference.
- Enhance the flavor by drizzling with spicy mayo or ginger miso dressing.
