Method

Bowl Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the warm rice using a wooden spoon. Allow the rice to cool slightly.

Tuna Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Tuna

    Cut the fresh tuna steak into small cubes or thin slices, as per preference. In a bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice. Add the tuna to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Assemble the Bowl

  1. 4

    Prepare the Toppings

    Thinly slice the avocado, cucumber, and radishes. Chop the green onions into small pieces.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Bowl

    In a serving bowl, add a generous scoop of the seasoned sushi rice. Top it with the marinated tuna, followed by the avocado, cucumber, radishes, and green onions. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.
