Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces sushi-grade ahi tuna, diced into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 cup short-grain sushi rice
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced or julienned
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded or matchstick style
  • 1/2 cup shelled edamame beans, cooked
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced or cubed
  • Pickled ginger (optional)
  • Toasted sesame seeds for garnish
  • Optional spicy mayo: mayonnaise mixed with sriracha to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear. Drain well.
  2. Combine rice with 1 1/4 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes.
  4. Transfer cooked rice to a large bowl. While still warm, gently fold in 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, and a pinch of salt. Let cool to room temperature.
  5. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger.
  6. Add diced ahi tuna to the marinade. Toss gently to coat and set aside for 10 minutes to marinate.
  7. Thinly slice cucumber and green onions. Shred carrot and prepare shelled edamame.
  8. Slice avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
  9. Spoon a generous portion of seasoned rice into each serving bowl.
  10. Top rice with marinated tuna, cucumber, carrot, edamame, avocado slices, and pickled ginger if using.
  11. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the bowl.
  12. Drizzle spicy mayo if desired and add a final touch of sliced green onions on top.

Notes

If rice cools too much and becomes hard, sprinkle a few drops of water and warm gently before assembling. Do not over-marinate the fish; 10 minutes is ideal to keep it fresh and tender. Use separate cutting boards for fish and vegetables to avoid cross-contamination. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. Optional spicy mayo can be made by mixing mayonnaise with sriracha. Freshness of fish is crucial; use sushi- or sashimi-grade fish.
