Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the rice: In a medium saucepan, cook the rice according to package instructions, then set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the tuna mix: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, 45g Greek skyr yoghurt, and 15g mayonnaise. Stir until well combined.
  3. Mix the toppings: Wash and finely chop the cucumber, and if using frozen, cook the edamame per package instructions.
  4. Prepare the sriracha yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, mix together 60g Greek skyr yoghurt and 30g sriracha; set aside for drizzling.
Assembly
  1. Assemble the bowl: Start with a base of rice, layer the tuna mix, cucumber, edamame, and sliced nori on top.
  2. Drizzle with soy sauce and sriracha yogurt drizzle, and top with optional sesame seeds, chili oil, and sliced spring onion.

Notes

Pro Tips: Bring the rice to room temperature to enhance flavor. Don't rush the assembly for visual appeal. Make extra sauce for dipping.
