Ahi Tuna Poke Rice Stacks with layers of pieces of tuna, avocado, cucumber, flavorful mayonnaise, and sushi-grade rice layered in fun, simple stacks.
Ahi Tuna Poke Stacks
I’ve been making my simple Spicy California Shrimp Stacks for years, but when I got my hands on tuna I thought I’d share a tuna poke version based on my Spicy Tuna Poke Bowls. These stacks of tuna are so delicious and perfect when your craving for sushi. They are such a fun and easy dish that your friends will love! Serve the stacks with some spicy garlic edamame and turn them into a meal.
I love poking and ordering it when I know I can get fresh fish, but I also love making it myself when I get my hands on fresh sushi quality tuna. These stacks of ahi tuna are matched in less than 20 minutes with frozen brown rice from Trader Joe’s (I’m obsessed!) And sushi-quality diced ahi tuna that I get from Crowd Cow (you can get $ 25 off here on your first order received). . All you have to do is combine and assemble the ingredients. And you don’t need anything special for assembly – just a measuring cup with a cup. Two stacks fill up, if you want to serve as a multi-course meal, you can serve one stack for 4 people.
How to make an ahi tuna stack
tuna: Combine the tuna with soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha and spring onions.
Rice: Stir rice vinegar into warm rice.
Spicy Mayo: Mix together the mayo and sriracha.
Assemble: Sprinkle a 1-cup measuring cup with oil, then layer the cucumber, avocado, tuna, and rice.
Covering: Turn the mug over and remove it from the stack. Sprinkle with furikake, soy sauce and spicy mayonnaise.
Variations:
- If you don’t have frozen rice, make your own with short grain brown rice.
- Swap the ahi tuna for crab meat, prawns or salmon in sushi quality.
- If you don’t want to buy furikake (affiliate link), a Japanese spice made from sesame seeds, seaweed and spices, you can just use sesame seeds.
- If you prefer your flavorful mayo to be spicier, feel free to add more sriracha.
- You can also use light mayo if you prefer.
- Don’t like raw fish, make these shrimp stacks instead.
