Method

Cooking the Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Sushi Rice

    Place the sushi rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sushi Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Then, uncover and fluff the rice with a fork. Allow it to cool slightly.

Preparing Toppings

  1. 4

    Prepare the Fresh Tuna

    Cut the fresh tuna into small cubes (about 1/2 inch). Place the cubed tuna in a bowl and drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix gently to coat.

  2. 5

    Slice the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Slice the avocado into thin strips or cubes, depending on your preference.

  3. 6

    Prepare Green Onions

    Chop the green onions finely, separating the green and white parts.

  4. 7

    Prepare Nori

    Cut the nori sheets into strips or small squares for garnish.

Assembling the Poke Bowl

  1. 8

    Assemble the Bowl

    In a bowl, start with a base of sushi rice. Arrange the marinated tuna, avocado slices, and nori strips on top of the rice.

  2. 9

    Add Garnishes

    Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top. Add a small amount of pickled ginger and a dollop of wasabi on the side.

  3. 10

    Serve
