Spicy Tuna Guacamole Bowls
Description
This recipe starts by cooking shelled edamame and preparing the vegetables: diced cucumber and shredded carrot. Cooked rice forms the base for individual bowls. Over the rice, a combination of edamame, drained chunk light tuna, guacamole, diced cucumber, shredded carrot, and chopped cilantro is layered. The dish is finished with a sriracha drizzle and sprinkled with sesame seeds for added texture and subtle nuttiness.
The bowl balances creamy guacamole with the mild fish flavor of tuna and the crunchiness of fresh vegetables and edamame. Sriracha adds a controlled spiciness, making the flavor profile lively but not overpowering.
These bowls can be served fresh or stored covered in the fridge for up to four days, making them a convenient meal option. Variations include using different types of rice, such as brown basmati for added aroma and nutrition.
Ingredients
- 1 cup edamame $1.04, frozen, shelled
- 1 cucumber $1.29, medium
- 1 carrot $0.11, medium
- 2 oz. cans chunk light tuna $1.98, in water
- 8 oz. guacamole $2.39
- 3 cups rice $0.72, cooked
- 1/4 bunch cilantro $0.20
- 4 Tbsp sriracha hot sauce $0.44
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds $0.08
Instructions
- Cook the edamame according to the package directions (mine instructed to microwave for 5 minutes). Allow the edamame to cool.
- Dice the cucumber and shred the carrot using a large box or cheese grater. Drain the tuna and roughly chop the cilantro.
- To build the bowls, place 3/4 cup of cooked rice in the bottom of each bowl. Top with 1/4 cup edamame, 1/2 a can of tuna, 1/4 cup guacamole, a handful of diced cucumber, a pinch of shredded carrots, and a few pieces of fresh cilantro. Drizzle sriracha over top, add a pinch or two of sesame seeds, then serve or refrigerate up to four days.
Notes
- Brown basmati rice was used here, but plain brown rice can also be substituted for variety or savings.
