Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups water
- 1 cup white rice I like jasmine rice, uncooked
- 1 cup cucumber grated (about 1 large cucumber)
- 4 heets nori broken into peices
- 2 cans albacore tuna drained, Genova brand, in olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce gluten-free, if needed, reduced-sodium
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt dairy-free plain yogurt works well, too, plain, non-fat
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar unseasoned
- 4 teaspoons sriracha
- 1 avocado diced, large
- green onion for garnish, sliced
- sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pan with high sides, bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the rice, cucumber, nori, and tuna. Bring back to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the soy sauce, reduce the heat to low, and cover and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed, about 20-25 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, rice vinegar, and sriracha. Once the rice is cooked, stir the yogurt mixture into the rice until well mixed and creamy.
- Serve with the diced avocado, green onion, and sesame seeds.
