Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cooked short-grain rice, warm
  • 2 (5 oz) cans tuna in water, drained
  • 1 cup shelled edamame, thawed if frozen
  • 1 Persian cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or grated
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 soft-boiled eggs (optional)
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp gochujang
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Whisk together the mayonnaise, gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar until smooth. Set the spicy sauce aside.
  2. Drain the tuna and place it in a bowl. Flake it into bite-sized chunks with a fork and toss with a small splash of soy sauce and a few drops of sesame oil.
  3. Divide the warm rice between two bowls. Top each with the seasoned tuna, edamame, cucumber, carrot, green onions, and soft-boiled eggs if using.
  4. Spoon the spicy sauce over each bowl and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

If you do not have gochujang, mix sriracha with a pinch of sugar for a similar heat and a little sweetness. The soft-boiled eggs add a luscious richness but are optional if you want to keep this a true no-cook meal.
