Instructions

Step 1: Dice 8 oz sushi-grade tuna into 1/2-inch cubes and place in a bowl. Add 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 2 thinly sliced green onions. Toss gently and let marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Step 2: While tuna marinates, combine 2 cups steamed jasmine rice with 1 tbsp rice vinegar and fluff with a fork. Divide this rice between two serving bowls.
Step 3: Evenly distribute the marinated tuna over the rice in each bowl. Top with 1 medium diced avocado and 1/2 medium diced cucumber.
Step 4: Sprinkle 1 tbsp sesame seeds over each bowl for a nutty crunch.
Step 5: Optionally drizzle 1 tbsp sriracha mayo on top for a creamy, spicy finish. Serve immediately.
