Let’s dive into the details of how you can create this culinary marvel.
Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
For the ingredients, you will need:
- 1 cup sushi grade tuna, chopped
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- Salt and pepper to taste
As for the equipment, a good sharp knife and a bowl for mixing are a must.
The sushi-grade tuna is the hero of this recipe providing that classic sushi taste. The avocado, on the other hand, brings in the creamy texture that perfectly balances the spiciness of the tuna. If you’re not a fan of heat, you can easily adjust the Sriracha to your liking or even replace it with a milder hot sauce.
How To Make Spicy Tuna Guacamole Bowls
1. Begin by combining the chopped sushi-grade tuna, soy sauce, sesame oil, and Sriracha in a bowl. Mix them well until the tuna is evenly coated. This is your spicy tuna mix.
2. Next, halve your avocados and remove the pits. In a separate bowl, scoop out the avocado and mash it until it’s a creamy texture. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Now, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top with the spicy tuna mix and the creamy avocado. Your spicy tuna guacamole bowls are ready to serve!
Tips For The Best Results
1. Use sushi-grade tuna for the best texture and flavor. This is non-negotiable.
2. If you want your bowls warmer, you can slightly heat the rice before serving.
3. To add extra flavor, garnish with sliced green onions or cilantro.
Storage Tips
1. To maintain freshness, consume immediately. If you do need to store leftovers, place in the refrigerator for up to a day.
2. Try to eat the avocado on the same day, as it tends to brown if stored.
