Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Hawaiian
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 200g ahi tuna, cubed
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 tablespoon seaweed salad
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool to room temperature and set aside.
- Carefully inspect the ahi tuna for any bones or sinew. Using a sharp knife, cut the tuna into clean, uniform 1/2-inch cubes, ensuring they are fresh and of sashimi-grade quality.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine soy sauce and sesame oil. Whisk together until well blended to create the marinade.
- Gently fold the cubed ahi tuna into the marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Let the fish marinate for 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Slice the avocado into thin, even wedges. Finely chop the green onion, separating the white and green parts.
- Divide the cooled rice between two serving bowls, creating an even base.
- Carefully arrange the marinated ahi tuna on top of the rice, allowing the marinade to slightly dress the rice.
- Artfully place avocado slices alongside the tuna.
- Sprinkle chopped green onions and seaweed salad over the bowl.
- Garnish with a light dusting of sesame seeds for added texture and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately, ensuring the tuna remains cool and fresh.
Tips
- Choose Quality Tuna: Always opt for sashimi-grade ahi tuna to ensure safety and the best flavor. Freshness is key, so visit a reputable fish market if possible.
- Perfectly Cooked Rice: For the best texture, use short-grain sushi rice. Rinse it thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch, which helps achieve that perfect sticky consistency.
- Marinate Wisely: Don’t marinate the tuna for too long; just 2-3 minutes is enough to absorb the flavors without compromising its freshness.
- Presentation Matters: Take your time when arranging the ingredients in the bowl. A visually appealing dish enhances the dining experience, so be creative with your placement!
- Customize Your Bowl: Feel free to add your favorite toppings, such as sliced radishes, cucumber, or even a drizzle of spicy mayo for an extra kick.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your poke bowl right after preparing it to savor the freshness of the ingredients. This dish is best served chilled!
