    Steam the rice according to package instructions while you prepare the other ingredients.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Bowl

    In a serving bowl, add a base of steamed rice. Top with the cured tuna, marinated cucumber, pickled jalapeños, pickled red onion, and chopped scallions. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
