Easy Tuna Poke Bowl Recipe

Ingredients:

From City Seafood:

• 1 lb sushi-grade tuna, cut into ½-inch cubes

For the Marinade:

• 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

• 1 tbsp sesame oil

• 1 tsp rice vinegar or lime juice

• 1 tsp honey or agave (optional)

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger

• A pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha (optional)

For the Bowl:

• 2 cups cooked and cooled jasmine or sushi rice

• ½ avocado, sliced

• ½ cup cucumber, thinly sliced

• ¼ cup edamame (shelled and steamed)

• ¼ cup shredded carrots

• 1 tbsp green onion, sliced

• Sesame seeds, for garnish

• Pickled ginger and seaweed salad (optional but delicious)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Tuna:
   In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, garlic, ginger, and any sweet or spicy add-ins. Gently toss in the cubed tuna. Cover and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes to let those flavors soak in.

2. Build the Bowl:
   Start with a scoop of cold rice in your bowl. Arrange the marinated tuna in the center and surround it with your toppings: avocado, cucumbers, edamame, carrots, and any extras you like.

3. Top It Off:
   Sprinkle on sesame seeds and green onions. Add pickled ginger or seaweed salad if you're feeling fancy!

4. Serve Cold and Fresh:
   Perfect for lunch, dinner, or even meal prep for the week—poke bowls are light, healthy, and super satisfying.
