Ingredients:
Tuna
Sushi rice
Cucumber
Japanese mayo
Tamari soy sauce
Honey
Seaweed flakes
Toasted sesame seeds
Steps:
(I didn’t really use any measurements, I just kind of eyeballed everything so any measurements I use here will be estimates)
If you don’t have any leftover rice, then cook that first. I used sushi rice this time, but I also like jasmine rice.
While the rice is cooking I sliced my cucumbers then added them to a small bowl where I mixed about a teaspoon of honey into a couple tablespoons of soy sauce to let them marinade while I prepared everything else.
Then I took a packet of tuna, drained the water out and put it in a bowl. I mixed in about a tablespoon and a half of Japanese mayonnaise and then a couple teaspoons of tamari soy sauce. The ratio of mayo and soy sauce is really up to your preference though.
Once I had my rice I layered the bottom of my bowl with it, then put my tuna mixture on top with the marinated cucumber slices. I didn’t put the rest of the marinade itself in my rice bowl but I did a light drizzle of soy sauce over my bowl. Then I topped everything with seaweed flakes and sesame seeds.
This was my first attempt at something like this but I really enjoyed it. I think next time I’ll also marinade some shredded carrot with the cucumber. I’d also like to try adding rice vinegar to the marinade mix but I don’t currently have any.
