Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. If using fresh cauliflower, cut it into florets and pulse them in a food processor until it resembles rice. If using pre-packaged cauliflower rice, skip to the next step.
In a frying pan, heat a small amount of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Cut the ahi tuna into 1/2-inch cubes and place them in a medium-sized bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together soy sauce or tamari, sesame oil, and rice vinegar to make the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the ahi tuna, ensuring each piece is coated. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
As the tuna marinates, prepare the toppings: thinly slice the green onions, dice the avocado and cucumber, and slice the radishes.
To assemble the poke bowl, divide the cauliflower rice between two bowls as the base.
Top each bowl with the marinated ahi tuna, then distribute the green onions, avocado, cucumber, and radishes evenly between the two bowls.
Garnish each bowl with sesame seeds, pickled ginger, and a drizzle of sriracha sauce.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your fresh and healthy low carb poke bowl!
