I just spent the last week at one of my best friend’s beach house in Panama City Beach, Florida. It’s become our annual thing to do in May every year and I couldn’t be more grateful for the time we spent gathered in the kitchen cooking together and the meals we shared over amazing conversations.

Although this trip turned rainy this year, having the beach in our backyard obviously made us crave seafood. What better way to enjoy it than by having some Ahi Tuna Poké bowls made at home.

Equipment

• 1 Microwave optional

Ingredients

  

• 1 lb. Ahi Tuna Filets raw and wild caught
• 1 bag Trader Joes Jasmine Rice
• 1 tbsp. Rice Vinegar
• 1/2 cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce can be subtituted with Bragg Liquid Aminos
• 2 tbsp. grated ginger
• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• 1 cup sliced cucumbers
• 1 cup sweet potatoes diced and roasted
• 1 cup julienned carrots
• 1/2 cup chopped scallions
• 1 tbsp. sesame seeds
• 2 avocados diced
• 1 teaspoon Spicy Mayo Optional

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes. Toss in olive oil and place on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
• Dice your tuna and place in a bowl. Add 1/2 cup of Soy Sauce or Liquid Aminos with 2 tablespoons of grated ginger and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Let it sit so that the tuna soaks in the flavor.
• Prepare the rice. Trader Joe's sushi rice cooks in three minutes in the microwave. Place in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar and mix until it becomes evenly coated and sticks together.
• Once your sweet potatoes are soft, remove from the oven, let them cool and combine with the tuna.
• Build your bowl however you'd like it. Start with a bed of sushi rice, add the veggies and top it off with the tuna and sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.
