Ingredients
  

For the tuna:
  • 1 7 oz can of tuna drained
  • 2 tbsp mayo I used low fat
  • 2 tsp sriracha
  • 1-2 tsp soy sauce
  • Juice from ½ lime
For the rice:
  • 1 cup of long grain white rice rinsed
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • OR One Package of Microwavable Rice
Toppings:
  • Sliced cucumber
  • Edamame
  • Shredded carrots
  • Avocado

Method
 

  1. Cook the rice, if needed: In a medium pot, combine rinsed rice, water, oil, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. OR Microwave your instant rice.
  2. Make the spicy tuna: In a bowl, mix together the drained tuna, mayo, sriracha, soy sauce, and lime juice until creamy and well combined. Adjust to taste, add more soy sauce if it needs more salt.
  3. Prep the toppings: Slice the cucumber, mash or slice the avocado, and prepare the edamame and shredded carrots.
  4. Assemble the bowls: Divide the rice into bowls, top with spicy tuna, and arrange the cucumber, edamame, carrots, and avocado on top.
  5. Optional garnish: Finish with a drizzle of soy sauce or sriracha, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, or chopped green onions if desired. Or drizzle with spicy mayo!
