Rice Preparation

Start by preparing the rice. Rinse 150g of sushi rice under cold water until the water becomes clear. Cook the rice in a pot with twice its volume in water. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat, cover and cook for about 15-18 minutes, until the water is completely absorbed and the rice is tender. Once cooked, let the rice rest covered for 10 minutes before transferring it to a bowl and letting it cool.

Marinating Tuna

While the rice is cooking, marinate the tuna. Cut the fresh tuna into cubes of about 1.5 cm per side. In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice and sriracha (if you want a spicy touch). Add the tuna cubes to the marinade and gently stir to coat each piece. Cover the bowl and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 15-20 minutes.

Preparing Vegetables and Mango

While the tuna is marinating and the rice is cooling, prepare the mango and vegetables. Peel and cut the mango into cubes similar in size to those of the tuna. Slice the avocado, thinly slice the cucumber and finely chop the spring onion. Thaw the edamame if they are frozen. These ingredients will add a variety of flavours and textures to your poke bowl.

Preparing Sesame Sauce

In a small bowl, prepare the sesame sauce by mixing 2 tablespoons of tahini, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of water, lemon juice and honey (if you want a touch of sweetness). Mix well until the sauce is smooth and homogeneous. If the sauce is too thick, add a few drops of water to achieve the desired consistency.

Assembling the Poke Bowl

Once all the ingredients are ready, assemble the poke bowl. Spread the cooked and cooled rice in the bottom of a large bowl. On top of the rice, arrange the marinated tuna, mango cubes, sliced avocado, edamame, cucumber and spring onion. Distribute each ingredient in separate sections for an eye-catching visual effect.

Gasket and Service

Garnish the poke bowl with toasted sesame seeds, nori seaweed strips and fresh coriander (if desired). Finally, pour the prepared sesame sauce over the tuna and vegetables. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness of the ingredients.
