Ingredients

• 225 grams Sushi-grade tuna
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 1.5 teaspoons Chili garlic sauce (low-sodium)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 stalks Green onion (thinly sliced)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 1 cup Cucumber (diced)
• 1 medium Avocado (diced)
• 2 cups Cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice (optional, for serving)
• 4 sheets Seaweed snacks (crumbled, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by ensuring your tuna is sushi-grade. Pat it dry with paper towels and cut it into small, bite-sized cubes (around 1/2-inch pieces). Set aside in a bowl.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, and grated ginger to create the marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the cubed tuna and gently toss to coat all the pieces evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4

While the tuna is marinating, prepare the toppings. Dice the cucumber and avocado, slice the green onions, and crumble the seaweed snacks if using them.

Step 5

Once the tuna has marinated, assemble the poke bowls. Start with a base of cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice if desired. Top with the marinated tuna, then add diced cucumber, avocado, and a sprinkle of green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 6

For added texture and flavor, garnish with crumbled seaweed snacks if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy this low-sodium, spicy, and refreshing poke bowl.
