A quick and easy homemade spicy tuna poke bowl featuring fresh sushi-grade tuna, creamy avocado, and perfectly seasoned sushi rice. This flavorful bowl balances spicy, tangy, and creamy elements for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces sushi-grade tuna, diced into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 cup uncooked short-grain Japanese sushi rice (about 190 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 medium ripe but firm avocado, sliced or cubed
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1–2 tablespoons sriracha or spicy mayo (adjust to heat preference)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Half a small English cucumber, thinly sliced or diced
  • Pickled ginger (optional)
  • Optional toppings: seaweed flakes (nori), radish slices, crispy fried onions

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear (3-4 rinses). Cook rice in a rice cooker or on stovetop with 1 1/4 cups water for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Transfer cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in 2 tablespoons rice vinegar. Let cool to room temperature.
  3. Dice 8 ounces sushi-grade tuna into uniform 1/2-inch cubes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1-2 tablespoons sriracha (or spicy mayo for creamy version), and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil.
  5. Toss diced tuna gently with the spicy sauce until evenly coated. Let marinate for 5-10 minutes.
  6. Slice avocado, scallions, cucumber, and prepare any optional toppings.
  7. Divide sushi rice evenly between two bowls. Arrange marinated tuna on top, followed by avocado, cucumber, and scallions.
  8. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and additional toppings as desired.
  9. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use sushi-grade tuna for safety and best flavor. Marinate tuna no longer than 10 minutes to avoid mushy texture. Rinse rice thoroughly to remove excess starch and prevent clumping. Adjust sriracha amount to control heat. Slightly underripe avocado holds shape better. Store components separately if making ahead; consume marinated tuna within 24 hours.
