Ahi Sushi Bowls

I'm missing my bowls! Just because it's cold outside doesn't mean I can't have my bowl and eat it too! I also like Ahi tuna, cold or hot. Today, I'm making everything hot, to warm me up!

Ingredients: 

1 cup cooked brown rice

1 tsp olive oil

8 oz Ahi tuna

2 Tbs low sodium soy sauce

2 tsp rice vinegar

2 tsp sesame oil

1/2 cup zucchini sticks

1/2 cup carrot sticks

1/2 cup edamame

1/2 avocado sliced

2 Tbs mayonnaise

1 Tbs sriracha

1 green onion, sliced

1 tsp sesame seeds

2 Tbs pickled sushi ginger

Directions: Cook the brown rice. Prepare the tuna and the vegetables while the rice is cooking. To prepare the tuna, mix together the soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil in a small bowl. Place the tuna in the bowl, turning every few minutes so that the tuna can marinate. Prepare the vegetables by cutting them, then arrange them attractively into two bowls, along with the rice. Prepare the sauce by mixing the mayonnaise with the sriracha. Taste, adding more sriracha if you like more spice. Heat the olive oil in a skillet, then drain the tuna and cook for about 30 to 40 seconds per side, depending on how thick the tuna is. The tuna should be just seared on the outside. Slice the tuna, then place it on top of the rice and vegetables. Drizzle the sauce over the bowl, and top with green onions, sesame seeds, adding some of the pickled ginger on the side. Enjoy!
