Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams sushi-grade ahi tuna
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 2 stalks green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 cups steamed white rice
- 1 cup cubed cucumber
- 1 whole avocado (sliced)
- 1 cup edamame (shelled and cooked)
- 1 sheet nori sheets (cut into strips)
- 2 tablespoons pickled ginger (optional)
Instructions
Start by preparing the marinade. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and red chili flakes.
Dice the sushi-grade ahi tuna into small, bite-sized cubes, about 1 cm in size. Add them to the marinade, along with the thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Gently toss until the tuna is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
While the tuna marinates, prepare the rest of your poke bowl ingredients. Steam the white rice if not already cooked, and allow it to cool slightly. Slice the cucumber into cubes, cut the avocado into thin slices, and cook the shelled edamame if needed.
Assemble the poke bowls. Divide the steamed rice evenly among two bowls as your base. Top each bowl with marinated tuna, cucumber, avocado, edamame, and nori strips. Add a dollop of pickled ginger if desired.
Finish your bowls by drizzling a bit of extra soy sauce or sesame oil on top, if preferred. Garnish with additional sesame seeds or green onions for extra flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and flavorful ahi tuna poke bowl!
