Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 5-ounce can tuna, drained (oil-packed tuna preferred)
Grains and Base:
- 1 1/2 cups cooked white rice
Toppings and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (Kewpie Japanese mayonnaise preferred)
- 2 teaspoons sriracha
- 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
- Black sesame seeds
- Furikake
- 1 cucumber (sliced)
- 1 sheet nori (seaweed, cut into strips)
- 2 green onions (sliced)
Instructions
- Whisk tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and soy sauce in a mixing container until thoroughly combined, creating a zesty marinade.
- Transfer fluffy cooked white rice into individual serving bowls, ensuring an even base layer.
- Carefully spoon the prepared tuna mixture directly over the rice, allowing the flavors to meld and distribute evenly.
- Garnish with selected toppings such as sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, diced cucumber, or avocado cubes for added texture and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately while ingredients are fresh and at optimal temperature, ensuring a delightful and satisfying meal experience.
Notes
- Swap mayo for Greek yogurt to create a lighter, protein-packed version of the tuna mixture that adds extra tanginess.
- For gluten-free options, use tamari instead of traditional soy sauce and ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
- Consider adding diced cucumber or avocado for extra crunch and healthy fats that complement the tuna’s rich flavor.
- Make this dish meal-prep friendly by preparing tuna mixture and rice separately, storing them in airtight containers for quick lunches throughout the week.
