Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Sushi-grade tuna
- 2 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce alternative)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sambal oelek (chili paste, sugar-free)
- 2 stalks Green onions (scallions), finely sliced
- 1 medium Avocado, diced
- 1 small Cucumber, diced
- 100 grams Seaweed salad (optional, sugar-free)
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 200 grams Cauliflower rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Start by preparing your sushi-grade tuna. Use a very sharp knife to cut it into small, bite-sized cubes, roughly 1 cm in size. Place the cubed tuna into a mixing bowl and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sambal oelek until well combined. This will serve as the spicy marinade for the tuna.
Pour the marinade over the cubed tuna and gently toss to coat all the pieces evenly. Let the tuna marinate in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
Dice the avocado and cucumber into small, similarly sized pieces to match the cubed tuna. Finely slice the green onions (scallions).
If you are using optional cauliflower rice, prepare and portion it into bowls as a base for your poke. If not, skip this step.
Once the tuna has marinated, assemble your poke bowls. Divide the marinated tuna evenly between two bowls, placing it over the cauliflower rice or directly into the bowls if serving without a base.
Top the tuna with diced avocado, cucumber, and green onions. Add the optional sugar-free seaweed salad, if desired.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds generously over each bowl for a nutty crunch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sugar-free spicy tuna poke!
