Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 cups short grain sushi rice (300 grams)
  2. 1 3/4 cups water (420 milliliters)
  3. 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  4. 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar (60 milliliters)
  5. 2 teaspoons sugar
  6. 500 grams sushi-grade tuna (about 18 ounces)
  7. 1 tablespoon sriracha
  8. 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
  9. 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  10. 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  11. 1 to 2 teaspoons prepared wasabi
  12. 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
  13. 1/2 teaspoon finely minced ginger
  14. 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced or peeled
  15. 1 to 2 carrots, thinly sliced or peeled
  16. 1 1/2 cups shelled edamame
  17. 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  18. 2 tablespoons black and white sesame seeds, toasted
  19. Pickled ginger
  20. Soy sauce

Instructions

  1. For the rice: Place the rice in a strainer and rinse under cold running water for about a minute, or until the water runs clear. Transfer the rice to a bowl and cover with cold water. If you have time, allow it to soak for 30 minutes. Soaking the rice ensures an even cook. If you do not have time to soak, the rice will still turn out, it will just be a little extra sticky.
  2. Drain the rice and transfer to a medium saucepan. Cover with the 1 3/4 cups water and stir in the salt. Bring the rice to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the rice wine vinegar and sugar and set aside.
  3. Remove the pot from the heat and allow it to sit, covered, for 5 minutes before stirring in the vinegar mixture until fully absorbed. Divide the rice into 4 bowls and set aside to cool slightly while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
  4. For the tuna: Dice the tuna into 1-centimeter (1/2-inch) cubes and add to a bowl along with the sriracha, mayonnaise and sesame oil; toss to combine. Place the tuna in the fridge to stay cold until you are ready to assemble the bowls.
  5. For the toppings: Mix the mayonnaise, wasabi, vinegar and ginger together in a small bowl and set aside. Arrange the sliced cucumber, carrots and edamame on the rice. Top with the tuna and scatter with the green onions, sesame seeds, wasabi mayo and pickled ginger. Serve with soy on the side.

I love most of your dishes, but mayo is a major NoNo with sushi in my book. Looks pretty though
Richard Espinoza
Delicious. We’ve made it several times. It’s our favorite tuna bowl.
Terry James
I watched this episode and you put the sushi in the fridge with the spoon in in it. That’s cross contamination. Please pay attention to that
Victoria Snyder
This was super easy & excellent! I made a few changes. The sauce I eliminated the mayo, added soy sauce, added that to the rice. Didn’t have shelled edamame so did avocado. Absolutely delish!
