Tips & Variations

  • For extra freshness, add sliced avocado or scallions as toppings.
  • Adjust the sriracha amount to control the spice level.
  • Swap mayonnaise for Greek yogurt for a lighter twist.
  • Use brown rice or quinoa as a nutritious alternative to jasmine rice.

Storage

Store leftover spicy mayo tuna and rice separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the rice gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before assembling the bowl. The tuna mixture is best served cold or at room temperature and should not be reheated.

How to Serve

The dish is presented in a white bowl resting on a white marbled surface. The bottom layer consists of white rice, spread evenly across the bowl. On one side, there is a portion of light pink tuna salad with a soft, flaky texture, dotted with small red sauce spots. Next to that, bright green edamame beans sit in a cluster, glistening slightly with sesame seeds sprinkled on them. Adjacent to the edamame is a heap of chopped green cucumber pieces. At the top, a square sheet of dark green seaweed with a crinkly texture is placed, sprinkled with white sesame seeds. Small dots of red sauce are scattered over the dish, adding contrast and color.
