Make this high protein tuna rice bowl in under 15 minutes. It uses canned tuna and comes together fast for a perfect weeknight dinner or meal prep lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked white rice (sushi or short-grain recommended)
  • 1 (5 ounce) can tuna, drained well
  • 3 tablespoons Kewpie mayonnaise (or regular mayonnaise)
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (adjust for heat preference)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup sliced avocado
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 sheet nori, cut into thin strips (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your rice if you have not already done so. Keep it warm.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the drained canned tuna, mayonnaise, Sriracha, sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Mix until the tuna is fully coated and creamy.
  3. Divide the warm rice evenly between two serving bowls. This forms the base for your deconstructed sushi bowl.
  4. Spoon half of the spicy tuna mixture over the center of the rice in each bowl.
  5. Arrange the sliced cucumber and avocado slices neatly around the tuna mixture.
  6. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and nori strips over the top of the bowls.
  7. Serve this easy tuna rice immediately for a quick dinner or let it cool before covering for meal prep.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, lightly toast the nori strips in a dry pan for 30 seconds before slicing.
  • If you prefer a less spicy flavor, start with 1/2 tablespoon of Sriracha and taste before adding more.
  • This recipe is excellent for budget friendly tuna meal preparation; store the components separately if making ahead to keep toppings fresh.
