Tuna Rice Bowls with Yum Yum Sauce
These Tuna Rice Bowls with Yum Yum Sauce have all of the flavors of sushi. I put in julienned carrots and cucumbers, seaweed paper (so tasty!), pickled ginger, avocado, sesame seeds, and drizzled it all with a spicy Yum Yum sauce!

On top of that, I haven’t found a place that I absolutely love here in Minneapolis. Since I’m not getting my spicy tuna roll at happy hour, I figured I’d do my best to attempt it at home! Obviously, the tuna is not raw or sushi-like in these Tuna Rice Bowls. Instead, I used StarKist Selects E.V.O.O. Yellowfin Tuna.
While most of the canned/packet tuna I’ve had has been packed in water, this tuna is packed in extra virgin olive oil. I absolutely loved the richness that the olive oil added to the tuna, and it didn’t feel dry or watery at all!

Jason doesn’t like sushi all that much either! what is wrong with our husbands! I am in the same boat. I don’t think I have had sushi since before my first born! So like 3 years. Sushi date?
Also this tuna bowl looks incredible…especially that yum yum sauce!
