  • 1 small green onion finely sliced on the diagonal

Instructions
 

Sushi Rice

  • Place water and rice in a large saucepan over medium high heat, no lid.
  • As soon as it comes to a boil, lower heat to medium low, place lid on and leave for 18 - 20 minutes or until water is completely absorbed. DO NOT stir, DO NOT remove lid!
  • Remove from stove with lid still on and leave undisturbed for 15 minutes.

Sushi Rice Seasoning

  • Mix Sushi Seasoning ingredients until sugar dissolves.
  • Spread rice out into large pan, drizzle half Seasoning all over.
  • Using a rice paddle or rubber spatula, cut through the rice and gently fold the rice over to mix the Seasoning through.
  • After 1 minute of mixing, drizzle remaining Seasoning then cut/fold for 1 minute. Will look wet but will absorb in the next step.
  • Leave rice to cool to warm or room temp - about 20 minutes.

Poke Bowl Assembly

  • Mix Dressing ingredients in a bowl.
  • Divide rice between bowls. Top with radish, carrot, edamame and avocado.
  • Place tuna in Dressing and toss (no need to marinate), then immediately transfer onto rice.
  • Sprinkle cucumber over the top, then green onion and sesame seeds.
  • Drizzle over remaining Dressing then serve!

Notes

Sushi rice is a type of short grain white rice that is sticky and absorbent, ideal for sushi. Rinsing rice helps to remove excess starch before cooking.
