Ahi Tuna Poke Bowls with Brown Rice
- 3/4 cups Short Grain Brown Rice (uncooked)
- 12 ounces, weight Sushi Grade Ahi Tuna
- 1 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds, Toasted
- 1 cup Julienned Carrots
- 3/4 cups Thinly Sliced English Cucumber
- 1/2 whole Ripe Avocado, Sliced Or Cubed
- 2 teaspoons Sesame Seeds
- 2 teaspoons Sesame Oil
- 1/4 cups Low Sodium Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Rice Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Freshly Grated Ginger
- 1/4 cups Plus 1 Tablespoon Finely Chopped Scallions (white And Light Green Parts Only)
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
- Start by cooking your brown rice according to the package directions.
- Once cooked, let it cool to room temperature.
- While the rice is cooking, prepare your poke.
- In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the dressing except for the lime juice (which is added right before serving).
- Slice your tuna into 1/2-inch cubes.
- Place the cubed tuna in a medium bowl and add the poke dressing.
- Gently toss to coat.
- Cover your bowl of poke with plastic and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes and up to a couple hours.
- While your poke is relaxing in the fridge, toast your sesame seeds.
- Heat a small pan over medium heat.
- (Dont put any oil in the pan, dudes!).
- When hot, add the sesame seeds and toast for about 2 minutes, shaking the pan regularly, until theyre golden.
- Remove them from the heat and set aside until ready to use.
- Now its time to prep your sushi bowls.
- Divide the brown rice between two bowls.
- Top with the carrots, cucumbers and avocado.
- (You can obviously just pile things in the bowl, but it will take less than 30 seconds to make it look attractive, dudes.
- Please consider it.)
- Remove your tuna poke from the fridge.
- Add the lime juice, and gently toss to combine.
- Top each bowl with half of the tuna poke mixture.
- And drizzle any remaining dressing over everything.
- Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately.
- Nice work, my little friends!
