Equipment

  • Small mixing bowl
  • Small nonstick skillet or frying pan
  • Rice bowl or serving bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • knife
  • Cutting board

Ingredients

Rice

  • 1 cup hot cooked rice
  • ½ teaspoon soy sauce
  • Optional: small drizzle sesame oil

Flavorful Spicy Tuna

  • 1 5 oz can tuna, drained very well
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1½ teaspoons sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon rice vinegar or lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
  • pinch sugar

Toppings

  • ½ avocado sliced
  • ¼ cup cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1 large egg
  • 1–2 teaspoons furikake seasoning
  • Optional: extra sriracha drizzle

Instructions

Step 1: Season the Rice

  • Place hot rice in a bowl and mix with soy sauce and sesame oil if using.

Step 2: Make the Flavorful Spicy Tuna

  • In a small bowl, mix tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar until creamy and well combined. Taste and adjust spice or salt if needed.

Step 3: Fry the Egg

  • Heat a small pan over medium heat with a little oil. Fry the egg until whites are set and yolk is still runny. Lightly salt the egg.

Step 4: Assemble the Bowl

  • Add seasoned rice to a bowl. Top with spicy tuna, sliced avocado, and cucumber.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

  • Place fried egg on top and sprinkle with furikake. Drizzle with extra sriracha if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Drain the tuna very well so the spicy tuna mixture stays creamy and flavorful instead of watery. Press gently with a fork or drain in a fine mesh strainer for best texture.
  • Use warm rice when assembling the bowl. The heat slightly melts the spicy tuna and enhances the flavor of the furikake and sesame oil.
  • Adjust the spice level by increasing or decreasing the sriracha. For a milder bowl, use 1 teaspoon. For extra spicy, add up to 2 teaspoons.
  • Runny yolk recommended. A soft fried egg adds a rich sauce that blends with the spicy tuna and rice for better flavor.
  • Slice cucumber thin so it adds freshness without overpowering the tuna. English cucumber or Persian cucumber works best.
  • Furikake adds salt and umami, so avoid oversalting the rice. Sprinkle at the end for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use ripe but firm avocado so it holds its shape and adds creamy contrast to the spicy tuna.
  • For extra flavor, drizzle additional sriracha, soy sauce, or chili oil over the finished bowl.
  • Short-grain rice works best because it holds together and absorbs the spicy tuna mixture better than long-grain rice.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture, especially while the egg yolk is still warm and creamy.
