For the Rice

  • 2 cups water For cooking the rice
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar For seasoning the rice
  • 1 tablespoon sugar For sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon salt For flavor
For the Tuna Marinade
  • 1 pound Ahi tuna Sushi-grade, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce Low sodium recommended
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil For flavor
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar For acidity
  • 1 teaspoon honey For sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha Optional for heat
  • 1 tablespoon green onions Thinly sliced, for garnish
For the Toppings
  • 1 cup edamame Shelled, cooked and cooled
  • 1 cup cucumber Thinly sliced
  • 1 cup carrots Julienned
  • 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds For garnish
  • 1 tablespoon nori Shredded, for garnish

Method

Prepare the Sushi Rice
  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
  2. In a rice cooker, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions.
  3. Once cooked, let the rice sit for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the rice to season it.
Marinate the Tuna
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced Ahi tuna, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, and sriracha (if using). Mix gently to coat the tuna evenly.
  2. Cover and refrigerate the marinated tuna for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Assemble the Poke Bowls
  1. In serving bowls, place a generous scoop of the seasoned sushi rice as the base.
  2. Top the rice with the marinated tuna, then artfully arrange the edamame, cucumber, avocado, and carrots on top.
  3. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds and shredded nori for garnish. Finish with sliced green onions.
  4. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl!
