Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp mayonnaise and 1 tbsp sriracha sauce to make spicy mayo. Toss 8 oz diced sushi-grade tuna in the spicy mayo until evenly coated, then refrigerate.
  2. Step 2: In another bowl, mix 2 tbsp rice vinegar and 1 tsp sugar until dissolved. Gently fold this into 2 cups cooked and cooled sushi rice to season and fluff.
  3. Step 3: To assemble four bowls, divide the seasoned sushi rice evenly. Arrange 2 oz spicy tuna, 1/4 sliced avocado, 2 tbsp julienned cucumber, and 1/2 tbsp pickled ginger on top of each bowl.
  4. Step 4: Garnish each bowl with 1/4 sheet toasted nori strips and sprinkle 1/4 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the top. Serve immediately for freshness.
