Sushi Rice

Vegetable Salad

Garnishes

Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    In a fine mesh sieve, rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season the Rice

    Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large bowl. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved, then gently fold into the warm rice. Let cool to room temperature.

Prepare Spicy Tuna

  1. 4

    Dice the Tuna

    Cut the yellowfin tuna into small cubes (about 1/2 inch).

  2. 5

    Mix Spicy Tuna Sauce

    In a bowl, combine diced tuna, sriracha, mayonnaise, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix gently until the tuna is well coated.

Prepare Vegetable Salad

  1. 6

    Prepare Vegetables

    Trim the snap peas and slice the cucumber thinly. Combine them in a bowl and sprinkle with salt to taste.

Assemble the Poke Bowl

  1. 7

    Layer Ingredients

    In a bowl, start with a base of sushi rice. Add a generous scoop of the spicy tuna, followed by the snap pea and cucumber salad.

  2. 8

    Add Garnishes

    Top the bowl with pickled ginger, sliced avocado, a sprinkle of furikake, and fresh Thai basil leaves.

  3. 9

    Finish with Yuzu Ponzu

    Drizzle yuzu ponzu sauce over the top before serving.
