A deconstructed sushi roll in a bowl. This easy, budget-friendly recipe features creamy spicy tuna made from canned tuna, served over seasoned sushi rice with avocado and cucumber.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans Tuna (5oz each)
  • 1 cup Sushi Rice (short grain)
  • 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 Avocado
  • 1 Cucumber
  • 2 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Sugar

Instructions

  1. Rinse and cook sushi rice. Season with vinegar, sugar, and salt; let cool.

  3. Slice cucumber and avocado.
  4. Assemble bowls: Rice base, topped with spicy tuna, veggies, and nori.
  5. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve.

Notes

  • Rice: Use short-grain rice for the authentic sushi texture.
