Spicy Tuna Rice Bowl

Background and History:

The Spicy Tuna Rice Bowl, also known as “Chirashi,” has its origins in Japanese cuisine. This dish combines fresh sashimi-grade tuna with a spicy and flavorful sauce, served over a bed of sushi rice. While Chirashi itself has a long history in Japan, the addition of spicy flavors brings a modern twist to this delightful and visually appealing meal.

  • 200g fresh sashimi-grade tuna, diced
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced

  • 1/4 cup seaweed salad
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Sliced green onions for garnish

Serves: 2
