Base

Ahi Tuna

Method

Prepare the Base

  1. 1

    Cook the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    Once cooked, remove the rice from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the rice with a spatula, being careful not to mash the grains. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Prepare the Ahi Tuna

  1. 3

    Dice the Tuna

    Using a sharp knife, cut the sushi-grade Ahi tuna into 1/2-inch cubes. Place the diced tuna in a mixing bowl.

  2. 4

    Marinate the Tuna

    Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, chopped green onions, and sesame seeds to the bowl with the tuna. Gently toss to combine, ensuring the tuna is evenly coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Assemble the Bowl

  1. 5

    Build Your Poke Bowl

    In a bowl, add a generous scoop of the seasoned sushi rice as the base. Top with the marinated Ahi tuna.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Arrange the sliced avocado, diced cucumber, thinly sliced radish, seaweed salad, and pickled ginger attractively over the tuna. You can also sprinkle additional sesame seeds or green onions on top for garnish.
