instructions
    1

    Begin by rinsing the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, which should take about 1-2 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, making the rice less sticky.

    2

    In a medium pot, combine the rinsed sushi rice with 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. After cooking, remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.

    3

    In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce together, then gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice using a wooden spoon or spatula. Aim to evenly coat the rice without smashing the grains.

    4

    In a separate bowl, prepare your spicy tuna. You can either use pre-seasoned spicy tuna or mix 8 ounces of chopped tuna with sriracha for that desired heat.

    5

    In a skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté the spinach for about 2-3 minutes until wilted, then remove it from the heat.

    6

    Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh, cutting it into bite-sized pieces.

    7

    To assemble your bowl, start with a base of sushi rice, add the sautéed spinach, and top with the spicy tuna. Arrange the avocado slices on the side.

    8

    Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and finely chopped green onion for garnish. Enjoy your Spicy Tuna Spinach Bowl!
