The method
Step by step
- 1
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated fresh ginger, and half of the sliced green onion in a medium bowl.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Ensure all dressing ingredients are well combined.
- 2
Add the cubed sushi-grade tuna to the dressing bowl and gently toss to coat evenly.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Be careful not to break up the tuna cubes.
- 3
Cover the bowl and let the tuna marinate in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for more flavor.
About 10 min
Cook’s note: Do not marinate for too long, as the acid can start to 'cook' the tuna.
- 4
While the tuna marinates, prepare your toppings: dice the cucumber and avocado, shell the edamame, and thinly slice the radishes.
About 7 min
Cook’s note: Arrange toppings neatly on a cutting board for easy assembly.
- 5
Divide the cooked sushi rice evenly between two serving bowls.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Slightly wet your hands to prevent rice from sticking.
- 6
Carefully spoon the marinated tuna over the rice in each bowl.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Try to get some of the dressing over the rice as well.
- 7
Arrange the diced cucumber, avocado, shelled edamame, and sliced radish around the tuna.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Create an appealing visual by arranging the colors and textures.
- 8
Garnish with the remaining sliced green onion, toasted sesame seeds, and optional seaweed strips.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: The seaweed adds a nice umami crunch.
