Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz sushi-grade tuna, diced
  • 2 cups cooked Japanese short-grain rice
  • 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
  • ½ medium cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar (optional)
  • ½ lime, juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse 2 cups (400 g) Japanese short-grain rice under cold water until water runs clear. Drain well.
  2. Cook rice with 2¼ cups (530 ml) water and 1 tsp rice vinegar (optional) in a rice cooker or saucepan. Simmer on low for about 18 minutes, then let rest covered for 10 minutes. Fluff gently with a rice paddle or wooden spoon.
  3. In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp mayonnaise with 2 tbsp sriracha sauce. Adjust sriracha to taste. Chill in fridge.
  4. Dice 8 oz sushi-grade tuna into ½ inch cubes. Toss gently with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, and juice of ½ lime. Marinate for 5 minutes.
  5. Thinly slice ½ cucumber and 2 green onions. Toast 1 tsp sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Divide warm rice evenly into two bowls. Arrange marinated tuna on top.
  7. Drizzle creamy sriracha mayo over tuna. Scatter cucumber and green onions around bowl. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top.
  8. Add salt and pepper to taste and an extra squeeze of lime if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh sushi-grade tuna for best texture and flavor. Adjust sriracha sauce to control spice level. Keep mayo chilled until assembly to maintain creamy texture. Rinse rice thoroughly to avoid gummy texture. For gluten-free, substitute tamari for soy sauce. Vegetarian option: replace tuna with tofu or chickpeas.
