Spicy Tuna Rice Bowl

August 30, 2012 By Lokness 6 Comments

It has been hot in the past two weeks. When it is hot, it is not very pleasant to cook in my apartment. It gets really hot in the kitchen, especially when I have the oven on. It is like a sauna. I would sweat like a pig. To prevent this, I tried to cook something fast and easy or not “cook” at all. This spicy tuna rice bowl is the perfect no-cook meal. It tasted light and delicious. After you have tried this, you will never need to buy spicy tuna bowl from outside. Have fun making it and enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1¼ cups uncooked short-grain or medium-grain rice
  • ½ pound raw sushi-grade tuna
  • 6 tablespoons Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise
  • 5 tablespoons sushi seasoning
  • 4 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
  • ½ English cucumber (peeled, seeded, and cut into thin strips)
  • 1 avocado (cut into thin slices)
  • 2 green onions (finely chopped)
  • roasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  • When the rice is cooked, let rest for 10 minutes. Pour the rice in a large glass or wood bowl. Mix in the sushi seasoning. Set aside and slightly covered. Let the rice cool at room temperature for 30 minutes or so.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce. Set aside.
  • For the tuna, pat it dry with paper towels. First, cut the tuna against the grain into ¼-inch slices. Then, cut the tuna slices into ¼-inch cubes. Place the tuna in a medium bowl and leave in the fridge until ready to use.
  • To assembly the rice bowl, put desired amount of sushi rice into a bowl. Top with tuna cubes, spicy tuna sauce, cucumber, avocado, green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. I used calrose rice. It is easily found in ethnic isle in most supermarkets. You can use any sushi type of rice. 
  2. Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise is richer than regular mayonnaise. You can get it at most Asian supermarkets. But if you can’t find it, you can use regular one. 
  3. I didn’t make my own seasoning for the rice, because it was much easier just to buy from a Japanese supermarket. But you can definitely make your own! It is very easy. You can check out this recipe from La Fuji Mama.
  4. For the spiciness of the spicy tuna, my recipe is pretty mild. Adjust to your own taste by adding more Sriracha sauce.
  5. For the toppings, you can definitely switch it up to whatever you like. For examples, carrots, pickled ginger, mixed greens or lettuce.

    Mmm! I’ve made tuna donburi in the past, but I like the addition of the sriracha mayo instead of wasabi!

      Miss Mochi – The mayo definitely gave the tuna and rice more flavors and moisture. It is simple and easy. Hope you will give this a try.

    Amazing recipe and a great photo too! If you like spicy mayo you should give Musashi Japanese spicy mayo a try. It really takes things to the next level. It’s the key ingredient..at least for me 🙂

Yesterday was a good day, and I’m still feeling Yesterday was a good day, and I’m still feeling the hangover from it. To continue w/ the happy mood, I’m sharing a sunshine kind of recipe, Blood Orange Sorbet.🍊 Tart, little sweet & a hint of floral. This pink sorbet is crazy easy to make that you just whisk everything together & pour into the machine. Easy breezy!

Bryan & I have been dreaming about these chicken t Bryan & I have been dreaming about these chicken tenders from Sesame Grill @sesamegrill_626 for a few days. These tenders are unlike any we had before. Crunchy crust, yet delicate & not too heavy. The meat is super juicy & soft. Very simple food, but really well executed! Sesame Grill was original a fine dining restaurant, they redid their menu because of the pandemic & started to sell tenders only. And that got really popular! Incredible story & hope they’ll continue do well. If you’re ever in the area, definitely check them out.

Char Siu with Rice (叉燒飯) is a dish that I ca Char Siu with Rice (叉燒飯) is a dish that I can never get enough. Since I didn’t live close to a Chinese restaurant for a long time, I have been making my own for years. This week, I finally reshot the photos & gave a quick update for the recipe. Juicy & tender pork coated in a slightly sweet BBQ sauce, then top them over some hot steamed rice with a sweet soy sauce. Every bite is so satisfying!

Almost every year, I make holiday treats for famil Almost every year, I make holiday treats for families, friends & Bryan’s coworkers. (Except last year, because we just moved to Northern California.)🎁 Year after year, I was told that their favorites are the marshmallows! 
.
Homemade marshmallows are really something special. Soft & pillowy, and they’re usually less sweet & flavored. I have 3 flavored marshmallow recipes on the blog, chocolate, raspberry & orange. Chocolate is no doubt the most popular. If you prefer something fruity, raspberry is the one to go. If you’re looking for something unique, definitely try the orange. 
.
Don’t ask me to pick a favorite, because I do love them all. Another plus about marshmallows is that they last for at least 2 weeks (likely longer), so you have plenty of time to give them out to friends or finish them yourself!
