Spicy Tuna Rice Bowl Recipe: Quick & Easy

Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
• 1.5 cups water
• 1 (7 ounce) jar tuna packed in olive oil
• 0.5 cup finely diced red bell pepper
• 0.25 cup finely diced jalapeno pepper
• 0.25 cup finely sliced green onions
• 0.33 cup seasoned rice vinegar
• 0.5 lemon, juiced, or to taste
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons Sriracha hot sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 pinch Korean red pepper flakes (gochugaru), or to taste
• 1 teaspoon finely sliced green onion, or to taste

Instructions

1. Gather all the necessary ingredients for your Spicy Tuna Rice Bowl.
2. Combine rice and water in a heavy pot. Swirl gently to settle the rice. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat without stirring. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
3. While the rice is cooking, place the tuna in a large mixing bowl and break it up using your hands or a fork. Add red bell pepper, jalapeno, 1/4 cup green onions, rice vinegar, lemon juice, soy sauce, Sriracha, and sesame oil. Mix well with a fork until everything is thoroughly combined. Turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
4. Fluff the cooked rice with a fork to separate the grains and break up any clumps. Transfer it to the mixing bowl with the tuna mixture. Mix thoroughly with a spoon until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve your Spicy Tuna Rice Bowl warm, at room temperature, or cold like a rice salad, garnished with red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon of green onion.
