Ingredients

• 200 grams Sushi-grade tuna
• 1 cup Brown rice
• 2 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha
• 100 grams Edamame (shelled, cooked)
• 0.5 Cucumber (thinly sliced)
• 0.5 Avocado (diced)
• 2 Green onions (sliced)
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
• 1 sheet Nori sheets (cut into small strips)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the brown rice under cold running water, then combine it with 2 cups of water in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed. Let it cool slightly.

Step 2

While the rice is cooking, dice the sushi-grade tuna into bite-sized cubes and place it in a medium bowl.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sriracha to create the poke marinade. Pour this mixture over the diced tuna and gently toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 4

Prepare the toppings by slicing the cucumber, dicing the avocado, and cooking the edamame if it's not pre-cooked. Slice the green onions and cut the nori into strips.

Step 5

To assemble the poke bowls, divide the cooked brown rice between two serving bowls. Top each bowl with the marinated tuna, cucumber slices, diced avocado, edamame, and green onions.

Step 6

Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and optional red chili flakes over the top for extra flavor. Garnish with nori strips.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy spicy tuna poke bowl fresh!
