Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 3 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp salt over low heat until sugar dissolves. Transfer 2 cups cooked sushi rice to a bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture; let cool to room temperature.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, mix 8 oz cubed tuna steak with 2 tbsp sriracha sauce, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp sesame oil until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the tuna cubes onto skewers and grill for 1-2 minutes per side until seared but still pink inside.
  4. Step 4: To assemble bowls, divide the seasoned sushi rice between 2 bowls. Arrange grilled spicy tuna, 1 sliced medium avocado, and 1/2 julienned cucumber evenly on top.
  5. Step 5: Garnish each bowl with 1/4 cup pickled ginger, 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, and 2 tbsp sliced green onions before serving immediately.
