Ingredients
Instructions
Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once done, fluff with a fork and let it cool slightly. For a lighter option, use cauliflower rice instead.
In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, and sea salt until well combined. This is your soy-free poke dressing.
Place the diced ahi tuna in a separate bowl. Pour half the dressing over the tuna and gently toss to coat. Let it marinate in the fridge for 10-15 minutes while you prep the remaining ingredients.
Prepare the toppings: Dice the avocado, cucumber, and slice the green onions. Shred the carrot if not pre-shredded.
To assemble, divide the rice or cauliflower rice among 4 bowls. Top each with marinated tuna, avocado, cucumber, carrots, and green onions.
Drizzle the remaining dressing over each bowl. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for a nutty crunch.
Serve immediately, enjoying the fresh flavors and vibrant textures.
