Ingredients
Marinade and Cucumbers
- 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
Spicy Tuna or Salmon Mix
- 2 6-ounce cans cooked salmon or tuna
- 1/4 cup light mayo or plain Greek yogurt
- 2-4 teaspoons sriracha
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (divided)
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
Additional Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups shelled edamame (warmed)
- 2 cups cooked rice (warmed)
- 2-3 large nori sheets, cut into small pieces
- 1 medium avocado, cubed
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Green onion, chopped, for garnish
- 2-3 Tablespoons chili crunch (stirred well)
- 1/2 Tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Marinate Cucumbers: In a bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, salt, honey, and 2-3 tablespoons of chili crunch until well combined. Add the thinly sliced cucumbers and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and set aside to marinate while preparing the rest of the recipe.
- Combine Spicy Tuna or Salmon: In a separate bowl, mix the canned salmon or tuna with light mayo or plain Greek yogurt. Stir in sriracha according to your desired spice level, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, soy sauce or tamari, and lime juice. Mix thoroughly to create a flavorful spicy tuna (or salmon) mixture.
- Warm Rice and Edamame: Heat the cooked rice and shelled edamame until warm, either in the microwave or on the stovetop, preparing a warm and comforting base for the bowls.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the warm rice and edamame evenly into four serving bowls. Top each bowl with the marinated cucumbers, spicy tuna or salmon mixture, small nori pieces, cubed avocado, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds and chopped green onions for fresh flavor and texture.
- Add Marinade and Serve: Drizzle any remaining marinade from the cucumbers over each bowl as a final touch to enhance the flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your quick and delicious sushi bowls.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sriracha in the spicy tuna mixture based on your preferred spice level.
- Use tamari instead of soy sauce to make the recipe gluten-free.
- Light mayo or Greek yogurt can be used interchangeably for a lighter or tangier flavor.
- Warm the rice and edamame just before assembly to keep the bowls fresh and balanced.
- Optional: Add pickled ginger or wasabi on the side for extra traditional sushi condiments.
