The Ultimate 15-Minute Meal!
If you’re on TikTok, you’ve probably seen the viral salmon rice bowls that everyone’s raving about. Have you tried them yet? Well, those bowls inspired this dish. Except we’re cutting down on prep time even more!
I found some shortcuts to get this bowl on your table in 15 minutes or less—and trust me, it does not disappoint.
Even my kids love them. I just adjust the sriracha in the sauce to make it a little milder (it’s not super spicy, but my kids aren’t fans of much heat), and boom—everyone’s happy with a meal that’s quick, satisfying, and full of flavor.
Tuna Rice Bowl Ingredients
The ingredients are in the recipe card below, but a few to note:
- Rice: Use leftover rice to save time, or microwave Minute Rice for a quick option.
- Tuna: Look for tuna packed in olive oil, like Genova’s® albacore, for the best flavor.
- Mayo: I’ve tested with Kewpie, light, and regular mayo and all work great!
- Sriracha: Start with a small amount of sriracha and adjust to your spice tolerance.
Tuna Rice Bowl Toppings
The toppings are what take these bowls to the next level!
- Avocado: Press gently to check ripeness; it should feel soft, like the tip of your nose.
- Cucumbers: Use English or Persian cucumbers for crunch and great flavor.
- Lemon: Gives a fresh, tangy flavor. The more lemon, the better!
- Black Sesame Seeds: Find them in the spice section near regular sesame seeds (not poppy seeds).
