Ingredients You'll Need
1 lb sushi-grade ahi tuna, cubed
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp honey
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tsp sesame seeds
2 cups sushi rice
2 1/2 cups water
1 cup diced pineapple
1 avocado, sliced
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup edamame
2 green onions, sliced
Nori strips
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp sriracha
Directions
First, rinse the sushi rice thoroughly until the water runs clear.
Cook the rice with 2 1/2 cups water according to the package instructions (approx. 15 minutes). Set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the poke marinade by mixing soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated fresh ginger, and sesame seeds in a mixing bowl.
Add the cubed ahi tuna to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Let it rest in the refrigerator for ten minutes to absorb the flavors.
Meanwhile, prepare the toppings: dice pineapple, slice avocado, shred carrots, and prepare the edamame and green onions.
Prepare the garnish by mixing mayonnaise and sriracha together to make the sriracha mayo.
To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls.
Top the rice with marinated tuna, followed by pineapple, avocado, carrots, edamame, and green onions.
Drizzle the sriracha mayo over the top and garnish with sesame seeds and nori strips.
Serve fresh and enjoy with chopsticks.
