Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by fully draining the canned tuna in a colander. Once drained, squeeze the tuna gently with your hands or a fork to remove any excess moisture. Set aside in a mixing bowl.
  2. In the bowl with the drained tuna, add Kewpie mayonnaise, sriracha, fresh lemon juice, and toasted sesame oil. Mix thoroughly using a fork until the tuna is evenly coated and creamy.
  3. In a large bowl, place your cooked sushi rice, ensuring it is still warm. Gently fold in the spicy tuna mixture along with the diced cucumbers and sliced avocado.
  4. Taste your rice bowl mixture. If desired, drizzle extra Kewpie mayonnaise and sriracha over the top for additional flavor.
  5. Transfer the completed Canned Tuna Rice Bowl into serving bowls. Top each with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of roasted sesame seeds.
