Spicy Tuna Rice Bowl

August 30, 2012 By Lokness 6 Comments

It has been hot in the past two weeks. When it is hot, it is not very pleasant to cook in my apartment. It gets really hot in the kitchen, especially when I have the oven on. It is like a sauna. I would sweat like a pig. To prevent this, I tried to cook something fast and easy or not “cook” at all. This spicy tuna rice bowl is the perfect no-cook meal. It tasted light and delicious. After you have tried this, you will never need to buy spicy tuna bowl from outside. Have fun making it and enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1¼ cups uncooked short-grain or medium-grain rice
  • ½ pound raw sushi-grade tuna
  • 6 tablespoons Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise
  • 5 tablespoons sushi seasoning
  • 4 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
  • ½ English cucumber (peeled, seeded, and cut into thin strips)
  • 1 avocado (cut into thin slices)
  • 2 green onions (finely chopped)
  • roasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  • When the rice is cooked, let rest for 10 minutes. Pour the rice in a large glass or wood bowl. Mix in the sushi seasoning. Set aside and slightly covered. Let the rice cool at room temperature for 30 minutes or so.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce. Set aside.
  • For the tuna, pat it dry with paper towels. First, cut the tuna against the grain into ¼-inch slices. Then, cut the tuna slices into ¼-inch cubes. Place the tuna in a medium bowl and leave in the fridge until ready to use.
  • To assembly the rice bowl, put desired amount of sushi rice into a bowl. Top with tuna cubes, spicy tuna sauce, cucumber, avocado, green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. I used calrose rice. It is easily found in ethnic isle in most supermarkets. You can use any sushi type of rice. 
  2. Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise is richer than regular mayonnaise. You can get it at most Asian supermarkets. But if you can’t find it, you can use regular one. 
  3. I didn’t make my own seasoning for the rice, because it was much easier just to buy from a Japanese supermarket. But you can definitely make your own! It is very easy. You can check out this recipe from La Fuji Mama.
  4. For the spiciness of the spicy tuna, my recipe is pretty mild. Adjust to your own taste by adding more Sriracha sauce.
  5. For the toppings, you can definitely switch it up to whatever you like. For examples, carrots, pickled ginger, mixed greens or lettuce.

    Mmm! I’ve made tuna donburi in the past, but I like the addition of the sriracha mayo instead of wasabi!

      Miss Mochi – The mayo definitely gave the tuna and rice more flavors and moisture. It is simple and easy. Hope you will give this a try.

    Amazing recipe and a great photo too! If you like spicy mayo you should give Musashi Japanese spicy mayo a try. It really takes things to the next level. It’s the key ingredient..at least for me 🙂

This Vancouver trip, we spent most of our time in This Vancouver trip, we spent most of our time in Richmond, British Colombia. It’s the city where the airport is located & right next to Vancouver. There is a huge Chinese community, so there’re many traditional Chinese food. One of the most memorable for me has to be this char siu & roasted duck w/ rice. Char siu had the perfect balance of meat & fat. I also got the soup of the day. It was very comforting & I finished the whole bowl. The atmosphere, the people & the food reminded me of Hong Kong. I’ll definitely come back next time! 

Tips: Many restaurants & food stalls in Richmond only take cash.

My version is made w/ canned salmon & yuzu kosho (yuzu chili paste). It’s savory w/ little yuzu flavor & not spicy at all. Love them for lunch! They’re especially good when the rice is still warm.
