A fresh, nutrient-packed poke bowl featuring sushi-grade tuna, creamy avocado, and crisp veggies, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces sushi-grade tuna, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 large ripe but firm avocado, sliced or cubed
  • 1/2 medium cucumber, thinly sliced or julienned
  • 3–4 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1.5 cups cooked rice or quinoa (about 300 grams)
  • Optional add-ons: edamame, shredded carrots, seaweed salad

Instructions

  1. Cook 1.5 cups (about 300 grams) of rice or quinoa according to package instructions, then fluff with a fork and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger until well combined.
  3. Cut the sushi-grade tuna into 1/2 inch bite-sized cubes using a sharp knife. Place the cubes into the marinade and toss to coat. Let sit for 5-10 minutes while prepping veggies.
  4. Thinly slice half a cucumber and 3-4 radishes. Finely chop 2 green onions. Prepare any optional add-ons like shredded carrots or edamame.
  5. Toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until golden and fragrant, if not using pre-toasted seeds.
  6. Cut 1 ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice into cubes or thin slices. Optionally sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  7. Assemble the bowl by placing a generous scoop of rice or quinoa as the base. Arrange marinated tuna on top, then layer with avocado, cucumber, radishes, and green onions. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over everything.
  8. Drizzle any leftover marinade over the bowl or add a splash of extra soy sauce if desired. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.

Notes

Use fresh sushi-grade tuna for best flavor and safety. Marinate tuna for only 5-10 minutes to avoid ‘cooking’ the fish. Cool rice before assembling to prevent avocado from softening too much. Toast sesame seeds carefully to avoid burning. Optional add-ons and substitutions allow for vegetarian, gluten-free, and low-carb variations.
