How to Make It
Prep the Ingredients
Begin by cooking your rice if it’s not ready. For an extra protein boost, you can also hard-boil some eggs.
Thinly slice a mini cucumber for the topping and finely chop the green onion for the tuna mixture.
Make the Sauce
In a bowl, combine all the Yum Yum Sauce ingredients and whisk until smooth and well blended. This recipe makes enough for two servings, so set half aside for the tuna mixture and keep the rest in the fridge for tomorrow.
Prepare the Tuna Mixture
Drain the tuna and add it to a small bowl. Add the chopped green onion and about half of the Yum Yum Sauce. Flake the tuna and mix thoroughly to combine.
Assemble the Rice Bowl
Add about 1 cup of warm rice to a bowl. Top with the tuna mixture, cucumber slices, and a halved boiled egg.
Serve with toasted seaweed snacks on the side for wrapping bites or adding extra salty, umami flavor.
