For the Bowl Toppings (optional)

ingredients

  • Sprouts
  • Edamame
  • Roe
  • Carrots, grated
  • Beets, grated
  • Cucumber
  • Mango
  • Radishes
  • Shallots
  • Shredded cabbage
  • Nori, thinly sliced
  • Seaweed salad
  • Pickled ginger

  • Furikake, (japanese sesame seaweed spice mix)

For the Quick Ponzu Sauce

ingredients

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce, or tamari
  • 1/2 orange, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

Method

  • Step 1

    Place the cut fish (or tofu, blotting well first) in a bowl. Add scallions, garlic, ginger and sesame seeds.

  • Step 2

    Mix sesame oil, soy sauce and honey in a small bowl, then very gently mix with ahi to coat evenly. (If using tofu, you may need to add more soy and sesame oil -in equal portions- because tofu tends to soak the liquid up like a sponge.)

  • Step 3

    Make the quick ponzu sauce, combining ingredients in a small bowl.

  • Step 4

    Assemble bowls – Divide rice (or other base) among two bowls. Pile tuna salad high in the center, and surround with your additional toppings (avocado, cucumber, radish, sprouts, etc). Spoon the fresh ponzu sauce over the veggies and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chili threads (or flakes). Serve with chop sticks and Sriracha.
