Ingredients
  

Sriracha Mayonnaise

  • ¼ C Mayonnaise - your favorite brand - light is OK!
  • 1 Tbl Sriracha
  • ½ Tbl Rice Vinegar
  • 1 Tsp Fish Sauce

Fish Sauce for Tuna - Quick Marinade

  • 3 Tbl Soy Sauce - Less Sodium Typically Used
  • 1 Tbl Sesame Oil
  • 2 Tsp Sesame Seed
  • 1 Lb Ahi Tuna - Raw and Wild ideally

Fresh Additional Ingredients

  • 1 Large Avocado
  • 1 Large Cucumber - seedless or de-seeded
  • 2-4 Green Onions
  • ¼ Bunch Cilantro
  • 1 Sweet Pepper - Green, Red or Orange (or a combo!)
  • ½ Mango - Optional but a yummy variation
  • 1 C Rice - Brown or White - your preference

Instructions
 

  • Make yourself some rice. You can do this early in the day or even the day before. If pre-made take it out of the fridge to it isn't cold when you are ready to eat it. I much prefer hot rice or minimally room temp rice to cold. Brown rice has more nutrition, and doesn't spike your blood sugar levels quite as quickly... Note 1 C raw rice will make about 3 C cooked - which should be more than enough for 4 people as typical serving is 1/2 C cooked.

Prepare the Tuna and Quick Marinade

  • Since I have a thick cutting board that doesn't leave my counter - I DO NOT cut proteins direct on my main board. I have specialty cutting boards for proteins that can go into the dishwasher and are less porous than my standard cutting board.
  • Cut the Tuna into ¾ inch or bite size pieces on your secondary board.
  • Toss into a medium sized bowl with the Tuna Marinade ingredients. I let the tuna sit for a little bit... maybe 15-30 minutes. You want the tuna to absorb the flavors without 'cooking'. You could go as much as an hour or two, but any more than that, the acid in the soy sauce could break down your tuna.

Make the Sriracha Mayo

  • Using your measuring spoons, put the mayo, sriracha, rice vinegar and fish sauce into a bowl.
  • Mix up. Say Wha-la with emphasis ! (Soooo easy!) If you have lumps you may want to whisk up the ingredients a bit.

Clean and Chop your fresh Vegetables #VegItUp

  • Consider what vegetables you have in your drawer that you enjoy - cut them up and add them in - whether they are noted above or not !
  • Cucumber - I like to de-seed mine. Cut the cucumber lengthwise - and I use a spoon to scrape out the seeds, and then chop the remaining bit of cucumber into small pieces.
  • Pepper - Slice in half or quarters, remove the stem and seeds, and slice into bite sized pieces.
  • Green Onions - Clean and trim your onions and slice thinly.
  • Cilantro - I like to have cilantro on my poke bowl - but the hubster doesn't. Up to you ! Clean and Chop if you have some and like it.
  • Avocado - slice in half, remove the pit. Cut the slices or bites in the Avo skin and then use a spoon to remove the 'meat' from the skin.
  • Mango - Yes ! A friend was over and knew I had mango and said - let's add some mango. It was a delicious fresh sweet add to the tuna - that went well with the spicy sriracha !
  • Wha La ! Dinner is basically ready.
  • Get bowls, and let folks make their own poke bowl - adding rice, tuna, veg and topping with the sriracha mayo.
    Finished poke bowl includes wild rice, chopped cucumber, chopped wild ahi tuna, chopped spring onions, chopped yellow pepper, bits of fresh mango and a spicy sriracha sauce.
  • I like to mix mine up so that all the flavors meld. Note this particular time I used wild rice - since that is what I had closest when I went looking to make rice!
