Preparation

  • Heat olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Sear them in the pan for 2-3 minutes on each side, until cooked to your liking.
  • Wash and dry the mixed greens. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber, and peel and slice the avocado.
  • If not already cooked, prepare quinoa according to package instructions. Allow it to cool slightly before adding to the bowl.
  • Divide mixed greens among four bowls. Top each with equal portions of quinoa, tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado.
  • Slice the cooked tuna steaks and divide among the bowls, placing them on top of the greens.
  • Sprinkle sesame seeds over each bowl. Drizzle with soy sauce and sriracha mayo if using.
  • Serve the tuna bowls immediately, accompanied by pickled ginger and extra soy sauce on the side.
  • Store any leftover components in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to two days. Assemble fresh when ready to eat.
