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 🙂

Have you been to @trejostacos? Other than amazing Have you been to @trejostacos? Other than amazing tacos, we love their cheesy bean dip. This is my copycat version of that dip. Looks ordinary, but layers with flavors! Creamy, savory, cheesy, little sweet & little citrusy. Give me a bowl of this dip & a bag of tortilla chips, I’ll be happy for a long time! Also, this dip can be made ahead. Just reheat & serve when ready.

Eton Mess w/ Strawberry, Mandarin Orange & Lemon. Eton Mess w/ Strawberry, Mandarin Orange & Lemon. Crunchy meringue cookies, fresh strawberries, sweet whipped cream, & my homemade tangy mandarin-orange lemon curd from last week. You can make most of these components ahead of time, just macerate the strawberries & whip the cream at the last minute. This is the spring dessert I want every year from now on! 🌸

Guys, this Mandarin Orange-Lemon Curd is so damn G Guys, this Mandarin Orange-Lemon Curd is so damn GOOD! You need this in your life!🍊🍋 First, you get the taste of Mandarin oranges. Sweet & floral. Then you get a little tanginess from the lemon. It’s creamy & smooth. I can almost eat this on its own, but I probably shouldn’t.😆 Put this on cupcakes, macarons, pavlova, yogurt, pancakes or anything you want. Best thing is that it only takes 15 mins to make!

On this day one year ago, California was officiall On this day one year ago, California was officially placed in lockdown. Offices, schools and shops were closed; restaurants only allowed takeout; shelves were empty at grocery stores. It was a scary time and still is today.  Oh, we were so naive thinking the lockdown was going to be for a short time!🤦🏻‍♀️

But good news is that there is hope in sight! Bryan & I were chatting w/ friends that this could be over in 2 or 3 months, max (SARS in Hong Kong lasted for about 2 months in 2003).

Infection numbers are down. Vaccines are here. I’m hoping that we’ll get our Fauci Ouchie soon. Dining out, traveling & hanging out with friends sound like the BEST things in 2021!

Hope you’re all healthy & hanging in there. My heart is with those who’re still recovering and have lost a loved one. You’re not forgotten.💕💕💕
It’s Friday junor! Time for a cocktail. This Bur It’s Friday junor! Time for a cocktail. This Burnt Mandarin Orange Gin & Tonic is an easy twist from a classic. How to make burnt oranges? Just sprinkle some sugar & torch with a blow torch. It’s just like making creme brûlée. That adds a really nice layer of flavors to the cocktail!
