Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 8 oz diced ahi tuna, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil, and 2 thinly sliced green onions. Stir gently to coat and let marinate for 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
Step 2: Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: thinly slice 1/2 cucumber and julienne 1 medium carrot. Slice 1 avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
Step 3: Divide 2 cups of warm cooked sushi rice evenly between two bowls. Arrange the marinated tuna, cucumber, carrot, avocado slices, and 2 tbsp pickled ginger attractively on top.
Step 4: Sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over each bowl and drizzle 1 tbsp sriracha mayo if using for a spicy creaminess. Serve immediately for best freshness.
