This sushi bowl recipe is an easy but fun way to make sushi at home without the fuss. It is a simple recipe to satisfy those sushi cravings and filled with spicy tuna, avocado, cucumber, carrot, sushi rice, kewpie mayonnaise, sriracha and togarashi seasoning.
I have found my newest obsession. These sushi bowls are so easy to whip up but they are so delicious! The perfect lunch meal to leisurely enjoy or gobble down on the go. This recipe is made with canned tuna but you can use any protein you prefer. I love this brand of tuna, I can literally just eat it out if the can.
When making a sushi bowl at home, you need a protein, carb and fiber (like all meals should have). The add ons can be spice, nuts, sauces or additional veggies to create a more wholesome and filling bow. This recipe is literally one of my go to recipes since I have most of these ingredients in my fridge. It is simple to prepare and such a nutritious meal to make with little to no effort.
Most often than not sushi seems expensive to eat outside. Also it seems very fancy and technical to achieve, this sushi bowl is easy to put to together, has all those flavors and all those textures without the expense and the fuss. We use canned tuna and you can use canned salmon as well. The veggies are pretty mainstream and easily accessible. The sauces I usually have in my fridge but you can buy them online or most supermarkets have them. OR use any hot sauce and mayo you have access to.
A poke bowl might have ingredients that are not traditional to sushi like fruits, nuts and other ingredients like brown rice etc. A sushi bowl mainly consists of sushi rice, protein such as salmon, omelette, tuna, shrimp, etc. and veggies like avocado, cucumber, carrot etc. the bowl can be served with sauces like soya, wasabi, sriracha, kewpie mayo etc.
There is no right or wrong way to make a sushi bowl however we can go classic with the existing flavors such as California roll, Salmond roll, crab roll, dynamite roll, spicy tuna roll, etc. hence you can use any of these or make your own creation.
This is subjective to the kind of sushi you are eating. If you are having a carb rich sushi that has fried shrimp in it for example – it is not the healthiest sushi out there. However if you use lean sashimi, sushi rice and veggies etc. hence sushi can be a healthy meal for consumption but just make sure it is well balanced.
A sushi bowl is basically a deconstructed sushi roll that is served in a bowl. It consists of sushi rice, proteins like salmon, tuna, omelet, etc. veggies such as cucumber, carrot, avocado etc. and other seasonings like sauces and spices to add more flavor.
All the ingredients you can add in a sushi roll can be added into the sushi bowl. Add any rice, protein, veggies, sauces and spices into the bowl.
I have used canned tuna here, it is in olive oil but you can use any canned tuna you like the taste of also you can use canned salmon as well. The ingredients work well with each other.
You can use any sticky rice you have access to, or just make normal rice and over cook it so it gets sticky. Jasmine rice is delicious or use sushi rice if you ahem access to it. It is the best option here. I have made this recipe with brown rice too but I prefer the sushi rice. I have seasoned the rice with rice vinegar and soya sauce. I love using leftover steamed rice for this recipe.
I have used a combination of cucumbers, carrots and avocado. You can use any veggies you prefer like corn or zucchini, bell peppers or even shredded cabbage. The addition of spring onions is yummy too.
I have used sliced seaweed, sriracha, kewpie mayonnaise, togaraishi spice and sesame seeds. You can add anything you like.
We need a knife to cut the ingredients and chopping board as well. A large serving bowl for dishing up the sushi bowl.
Cook the sushi rice as per the packet instructions or if using leftover rice make sure to season it with 1 tsp soya sauce and 1/2 tsp rice vinegar. Drain the can of tuna and you can save the oil to something else if you like. In a bowl add the tuna, and tuna ingredients, stir to combine. Prepare the cucumbers and carrots by cutting them as you like. Cut the avocado in half and slice. Start by layering the bowl with the rice, add the drained tuna, prepared veggies. Top with sriracha, kewpie mayo, togarashi and seaweed. Serve and enjoy.
This recipe is more like a leftover makeover, where you can use what you have in your fridge from the night before. The recipe is not worth storing, I would suggest assembling it the night before in your lunch box and storing in the fridge if needed. Hence once it is out of the fridge do not leave it out and consume quickly as the tuna can go bad easily. You could serve up the bowl without the tuna and carry the can separately if needed.
Now that we have covered how to make this easy tuna sushi bowl in 10 mins, you can have a look at the recipe video on my socials but let’s get to it.
