Ingredients
  

1 cup sushi rice

1 1/4 cups water

8 oz sushi-grade tuna, diced

2 tablespoons mayonnaise (preferably Japanese mayo)

2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 avocado, sliced

1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced

2 green onions, chopped

1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Seaweed sheets (for garnish, optional)

Pickled ginger (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it rest covered for 10 minutes.

    Make the Spicy Tuna Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine diced tuna, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix gently until well combined. Adjust spiciness according to your preference.

      Prepare the Bowl: Fluff the cooked sushi rice with a fork and divide it evenly into serving bowls.

        Assemble the Bowl: Top the rice with generous portions of the spicy tuna mixture. Arrange slices of avocado and cucumber around the tuna to create a vibrant presentation.

          Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the top. If desired, add sheets of seaweed and serve with pickled ginger on the side for extra flavor.
