Ingredients
Scale
2 cups cooked white rice
1 (5 ounce) can tuna, drained
3 tablespoons mayonnaise (Kewpie preferred)
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Optional toppings: sliced cucumber, avocado, green onions, toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Prepare the rice if you have not already done so. Keep it warm.
In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Sriracha, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the tuna is creamy.
Divide the warm rice between two serving bowls.
Spoon the spicy tuna mixture evenly over the rice in each bowl.
Add your desired toppings, such as sliced cucumber, avocado, green onions, and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately.
Notes
For a budget friendly meal, use water-packed tuna.
If you prefer a less spicy flavor, start with 1/2 tablespoon of Sriracha and add more to your preference.
This recipe works well for meal prep; store the tuna mixture and toppings separately from the rice until ready to eat.
