Instructions
Marinade the Tuna
In a medium bowl, combine all marinade ingredients and mix well.
Add fish and gently fold to coat (don't stir vigorously or you'll make mush of the fragile fish chunks).
Prep the Bowl Ingredients
If necessary, place the rice in a microwave-safe bowl. Add about a tablespoon of water and partially cover with a plastic lid or paper towel. Gently microwave heat until just warmed but not hot. Replace cover and let it rehydrate and cool to room temperature.
Meanwhile, if edamame needs to be cooked, microwave for 2 minutes from frozen. Test to make sure they are done (add 30-60 seconds if necessary) and then dunk in cold water to stop cooking. Shell the edamame and set aside.
Chop the avocado, cucumber, pepper, and green onions.
Assemble the Bowl
In a poke or noodle-sized bowl, create a bed of rice.
Gently spoon marinated fish on top.
Add edamame pods, avocado, cucumber, pepper, and green onions.
Sprinkle with black and white sesame seeds, furikake, soy sauce, and rice vinegar to taste.
Mix soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and the whites from a green onion. If desired, mirin, rice vinegar, and hot sesame oil or sriracha in a medium bowl. Add fish and set aside to marinate. Meanwhile, rehydrate and warm rice to room temperature. If not already cooked, microwave and shell edamame. Place bed of rice in a bowl and top with fish, edamame beans, avocado cubes, and chopped scallions. Top with your preferred combination of fried onions, black and white sesame seeds, furikake, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha mayonnaise.
