Spicy Tuna Poke Bowl
Description
The bowl starts with fresh, cubed tuna tossed in a mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha, infusing the fish with savory and spicy notes. Scallions add mild sharpness and freshness. It rests atop a bed of cooked short-grain brown rice, providing a nutty base. The addition of diced cucumber and creamy avocado slices adds crunch and smoothness respectively, balancing the spicy tuna.
A light drizzle of mayonnaise mixed with sriracha complements the dish with creamy heat. Black sesame seeds and extra scallions serve as garnishes to provide subtle nuttiness and color contrast. The poke bowl is assembled by layering these components for a balanced bite each time.
The rice can be swapped with sushi white rice if preferred. Mayonnaise is thinned slightly with water for drizzle consistency. Additional soy sauce and sriracha can be served on the side to adjust seasoning individually.
