Deconstructed Sushi Bowl

Are you someone that craves sushi a lot? To be honest, I have no idea how to make sushi from scratch. One night, I really wanted sushi, but didn't want to go out to eat. I tend to eat way more and my body feels better when I eat at home. I love cooking, so I thought why not make it into a bowl? That way I was able to swap out the rice for quinoa and make my own homemade dairy-free "spicy mayo dipping sauce". Veggies are the star of the dish here because I was able to up my veggie game by making it at home. Ditch the takeout because you will definitely want to try my all new deconstructed sushi bowl.

Ingredients:

• 2 5 or 6 oz. cans of chunk lite tuna, drained

• 1 cup brown rice

• 1/3 cup mayo or veganaise

• 1 scallion, chopped

• 1 ripe avocado, cubed

• 1-2 small carrots, julienned

• 1-2 cloves garlic, minced

• 3 cups of greens of choice (spinach, kale, arugula, watercress)

• 1 cup of seaweed (optional)

• 2 Tbsp. rice vinegar

• 1 Tbsp. Sriracha (optional)

• Top with sesame seeds

 For the Spicy Mayo Dipping Sauce:

• 1 Tbsp. miso paste

• 1 Tbsp. low sodium soy sauce

• 1/4-1/3 cup water or vegetable broth

• 1 tsp rice wine vinegar

• 1 tsp sesame oil

• 1 tsp powdered ginger

• 1 tsp sriracha (optional)

Directions:
1) Prepare the rice by pouring 2 cups of water with 1 cup of rice into a pot. Turn the heat on medium-high to bring to a boil (3-5 minutes)
Turn the heat down to medium-low and let it simmer covered for 40 minutes or until all the water is evaporated. Let cool for 5 minutes
and stir in 2 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar. 
2) Prep all of your vegetables, set aside.
3) Mix tuna, mayo, garlic, and sriracha in a bowl.
4) Prepare the sauce by combining all the ingredients in a food processor or high powered blender.
5) To serve in a bowl, put the rice at the bottom, followed by the vegetables, tuna mixture, and top with sesame seeds. Enjoy!
