– 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Spicy Tuna Sushi Bowl:
1. Rinse the Rice: In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
2. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 10-12 minutes until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 10 minutes.
3. Prepare the Tuna: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix gently until the tuna is well coated. Adjust the sriracha according to your desired spice level.
4. Slice the Vegetables: While the rice is cooking, prepare the avocado, cucumber, and carrot. Arrange them in a visually appealing manner for serving.
5. Fluff the Rice: After the rice has rested, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains. Season lightly with salt if desired.
6. Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, place a generous portion of sushi rice as the base. Top with the spicy tuna mixture, avocado slices, cucumber, and carrots.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top for added flavor and crunch.
8. Serve with Seaweed: If desired, serve with sheets of seaweed on the side for a traditional touch.
With these steps, you can easily create a delicious Spicy Tuna Sushi Bowl that’s perfect for any occasion.
