# What You'll Need:
→ Rice
01 - 1 cup jasmine rice
02 - 2 cups water
03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Tuna
04 - 1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained
→ Vegetables & Fruit
05 - 1 ripe avocado, diced
06 - 1/2 English cucumber, diced
07 - 2 scallions, thinly sliced
→ Dressing
08 - 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
09 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
10 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
11 - 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup

13 - 1/2 teaspoon sriracha
→ Toppings
14 - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
15 - 1 tablespoon nori strips or crushed roasted seaweed

# Directions:
01 - Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice, water, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 12-15 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork.
02 - While rice cooks, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, ginger, and sriracha in a small bowl. Whisk until well blended.
03 - In a medium bowl, gently combine drained tuna with 1 tablespoon of prepared dressing. Mix gently to avoid breaking tuna pieces.
04 - Divide warm jasmine rice equally between two serving bowls. Top each bowl with equal portions of dressed tuna, diced avocado, cucumber, and scallions.
05 - Drizzle remaining dressing evenly over both bowls.
06 - Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds, nori strips, and fresh cilantro or microgreens over each bowl. Serve immediately while rice is still warm.
