1. Start by preparing the sushi rice as per package instructions and let it cool slightly while you prepare the other ingredients.
2. Dice the sushi-grade ahi tuna into small bite-sized cubes. Place the cubes in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
3. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced fresh ginger, and red chili flakes. Mix well to create the poke sauce.
4. Pour the poke sauce over the diced tuna. Add the sliced green onions and gently toss until the tuna pieces are evenly coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
5. Simultaneously, prepare the remaining poke bowl ingredients. Slice the cucumber, dice the avocado, and cook the edamame as per package instructions if not done already.
6. To assemble the poke bowls, start by evenly dividing the cooked sushi rice among four bowls.
7. Arrange the marinated tuna, cucumber slices, diced avocado, seaweed salad, and cooked edamame on top of the rice in each bowl.
8. Garnish each bowl with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a slice of lime on the side for an added citrusy touch.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and tasty nut-free classic ahi tuna poke bowl.
