Creamy avocado and tender tuna with crisp vegetables and sesame seeds over fragrant jasmine rice. Quick, satisfying, and packed with flavor.
# What You'll Need:
→ Rice
01 - 1 cup jasmine rice
02 - 2 cups water
03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Tuna
04 - 1 (5 oz) can tuna in water, drained
→ Vegetables and Fruit
05 - 1 ripe avocado, diced
06 - 1/2 English cucumber, diced
07 - 2 scallions, thinly sliced
→ Dressing
08 - 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
09 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
10 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
11 - 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
12 - 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
13 - 1/2 teaspoon sriracha, optional
→ Toppings
14 - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
15 - 1 tablespoon nori strips, optional
16 - Fresh cilantro or microgreens, optional
# How to Make It:
01 - Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice, water, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 12 to 15 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
02 - While rice cooks, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, ginger, and sriracha if using in a small bowl until well combined.
03 - In a medium bowl, gently combine drained tuna with 1 tablespoon of the prepared dressing. Mix carefully to avoid breaking apart the tuna.
04 - Divide warm jasmine rice evenly between two serving bowls. Top each bowl with equal portions of dressed tuna, diced avocado, cucumber, and sliced scallions.
05 - Drizzle remaining dressing over both bowls. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds, nori strips, and fresh cilantro or microgreens over each bowl if desired.
06 - Serve immediately while rice is warm for optimal flavor and texture.
