A straightforward recipe for making a fresh, marinated ahi tuna poke bowl at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb sushi-grade ahi tuna, cubed
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sriracha if you are using it.
  2. Add the cubed ahi tuna to the marinade. Gently toss to coat all the tuna pieces.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 2 hours, to allow the tuna to marinate.
  4. Divide the cooked sushi rice between two serving bowls.
  5. Top the rice evenly with the marinated tuna.
  6. Arrange the cucumber, carrots, and green onions around the tuna.
  7. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Use only sushi-grade or sashimi-grade tuna for safe consumption raw.
  • You can substitute brown rice or quinoa for sushi rice.
  • Add avocado slices for extra creaminess.
