Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, and 1 minced garlic clove to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Toss 12 oz sushi-grade tuna cubes in the marinade and let sit for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread tuna cubes onto skewers and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until just seared but still pink inside.
  4. Step 4: Divide 2 cups cooked and cooled white rice evenly among four bowls. Arrange 1 cup shelled steamed edamame, 1 julienned carrot, 1 diced cucumber, 1 sliced avocado, and grilled tuna cubes on top.
  5. Step 5: Garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Serve each bowl with a lime wedge for squeezing over before eating.
