Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked short-grain white rice
  • 1 (5 ounce) can tuna, drained
  • 1/4 cup Kewpie mayonnaise (or regular mayonnaise)
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (adjust for heat)
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup sliced avocado
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice if you have not already done so. Keep the rice warm.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Sriracha, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until the tuna is fully coated and creamy.
  3. Divide the warm rice between two serving bowls. This recipe makes two servings.
  4. Spoon half of the spicy tuna mixture over the rice in each bowl.
  5. Arrange the sliced cucumber and avocado slices on top of the tuna mixture in each bowl.
  6. Garnish generously with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately for a quick dinner.

Notes

  • For a budget friendly meal, use water-packed tuna and drain it very well.
  • If you prefer a less spicy flavor, start with 1/2 tablespoon of Sriracha and taste before adding more.
  • You can substitute the fresh vegetables with shredded carrots or edamame for variety.
  • This makes a great healthy lunch idea when packed into containers for meal prep.
