Teriyaki Tuna Poke Bowl

Ingredients:

• 200g fresh tuna, diced
• 1/2 cup edamame (cooked)
• 1/2 cup cucumber, sliced
• 1/2 cup shredded carrots
• 1/4 cup pickled ginger
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 2 cups cooked sushi rice
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (toasted)

For the Teriyaki Sauce:

• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp mirin (sweet rice wine)
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (optional, for thickening)

Steps:

1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the sauce slightly thickens. If a thicker sauce is desired, add the cornstarch mixture and continue to cook until thickened. Allow to cool.
2. Marinate Tuna: Toss diced tuna with 2 tablespoons of the teriyaki sauce and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
3. Assemble the Bowl: Place cooked sushi rice in bowls.
4. Add Toppings: Arrange marinated tuna, edamame, cucumber, shredded carrots, pickled ginger, and avocado on top of the rice.
5. Drizzle Sauce: Drizzle the remaining teriyaki sauce over the bowl.
6. Garnish: Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Mix gently before eating to combine flavors.
