Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, pour 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil, then stir until combined.

  2. Step 2

    Cut the tuna into 1-inch cubes by slicing lengthwise with the grain of the meat, then crosswise, so each piece looks like a small dice.

  3. Step 3

    Place the tuna cubes in a shallow bowl and pour the soy-ginger marinade over them, stirring gently to coat every piece.

  4. Step 4

    Let the tuna sit at room temperature for 5 minutes while you prep the vegetables, allowing the marinade flavors to soak in.

  5. Step 5

    Place 1 cup of warm sushi rice into a bowl, spreading it so it covers the bottom in an even layer.

  6. Step 6

    Using a spoon, scoop the marinated tuna and all of its liquid onto the center of the rice in a small mound.

  7. Step 7

    Slice the avocado in half lengthwise around the pit, twist the halves apart, then scoop the flesh into crescents using a spoon.

  8. Step 8

    Arrange the avocado slices and cucumber matchsticks in separate piles around the tuna, leaving space between each ingredient.

  9. Step 9

    Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced scallions over the bowl if desired, then serve immediately.
