Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams sushi-grade ahi tuna
- 200 grams brown rice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 cucumber
- 100 grams cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 red onion
- 1 avocado
- 10 grams cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, set aside to cool slightly.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the ahi tuna. Cut the tuna into 1-inch cubes and place in a mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and soy sauce. Pour this marinade over the ahi tuna and gently toss to coat. Let it marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds, halve the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and slice the avocado. Set aside.
When the rice is slightly cooled, start assembling the poke bowls. Divide the rice into two bowls.
Top the rice in each bowl with the marinated tuna, arranging it neatly. Add the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and avocado around the tuna.
Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the ingredients in each bowl.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean-inspired poke bowl!
