Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl with Avocado and Cucumber
This fresh ahi tuna poke bowl is a simple Hawaiian-inspired dish made with warm sushi rice and topped with creamy avocado slices, crisp cucumber, and cubes of sushi-grade ahi tuna. The tuna is lightly seasoned and paired with furikake seasoning, sesame seeds, and seaweed flakes which add a savory, slightly salty umami flavor. The combination of textures makes the bowl refreshing and balanced: soft rice on the bottom, buttery avocado, cool crunchy cucumber, and tender tuna on top.

Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked sushi rice
- 4 oz sushi-grade ahi tuna, cut into small cubes
- ½ avocado, sliced
- ½ cup cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp furikake seasoning
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp chopped nori (seaweed flakes) Optional vegetables (such as shredded carrots, edamame, radish, mango, or green onions)
Instructions
- 1
Cook 1 cup sushi rice according to the package directions if it is not already prepared. Once cooked, place the warm rice into a serving bowl and gently spread it out to form the base of the bowl.
- 2
Cut 4 ounces sushi-grade ahi tuna into small bite-sized cubes using a sharp knife. Place the tuna pieces into a small bowl.
- 3
Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon rice vinegar to the tuna cubes. Stir gently so the tuna becomes lightly coated in the seasoning.
- 4
Slice 1/2 avocado into thin slices and set it aside.
- 5
Thinly slice 1/2 cup cucumber into small round slices.
- 6
Place the sliced avocado on one side of the rice in the bowl.
- 7
Place the cucumber slices next to the avocado so they cover another section of the rice.
- 8
Spoon the seasoned tuna cubes you prepared earlier into the bowl next to the avocado and cucumber.
- 9
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon furikake seasoning, 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, and 1 tablespoon chopped nori flakes evenly across the top of the bowl.
- 10
Add any optional vegetables listed in the ingredients on top of the bowl if you want extra flavor or texture.
- 11
Serve immediately while the rice is slightly warm and the fish is fresh. Mix everything together in the bowl before eating so the flavors combine evenly.
