Ingredients

1 1/2 cups medium grain rice

For the tuna:

3 5 oz. cans Tuna packed in olive oil (drained)
3 Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 large cucumber (sliced)
2 avocados (pitted and sliced)
2 green onions (green parts sliced thin)
Pickled ginger (for serving)
Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

For the sauce:

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon sriracha (more or less, to taste)
squeeze of lime juice

Instructions

Add the rice to a sauce pan along with 3 cups of water and a generous pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 9-11 minutes, or until the water is all soaked up and rice is tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, and ginger. Toss it with the tuna. Add the tuna to a skillet and cook over medium high heat for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
In another small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lime juice, to taste.
To make the bowls, divide the rice evenly between four bowls. Top with the tuna, cucumber slices, and avocado. Sprinkle with green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Drizzle with spicy mayo and serve with pickled ginger, if desired.

Notes

For a gluten free alternative, use tamari sauce instead of soy sauce.
Feel free to experiment with different veggies. Edamame, bell peppers, and leftover roasted veggies can all be great.
The sauce, rice, and tuna can all be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. This is great for quick lunches and meal prep! Serve the bowls warm or cold.
