Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl Recipe — Wasabi or Soy-Sesame
Ahi Tuna Poke Bowls with Soy-Sesame Sauce
Build two bowls with tuna, rice, cucumber and avocado. Choose plain tuna and make the sauce below, or use a poke kit and its included seasoning. With a seasoned kit, start with less extra sauce so the bowl does not become too salty.

Choose your preparation
For a raw bowl, confirm that the specific tuna is intended for raw preparation and follow its handling instructions. A “sushi-grade” name and freezing alone do not guarantee safety. A cooked alternative uses tuna prepared according to our tuna cooking guide, then cut into bite-sized pieces.

FDA recommends thorough cooking to reduce foodborne illness risk; older adults, pregnant people, children and people with weakened immunity should avoid raw or undercooked seafood.
Ingredients for two bowls
- 12 oz plain tuna suitable for your chosen preparation, or prepared poke tuna following its package directions
- 1½ cups cooked rice, or mixed salad greens
- ½ cucumber, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Nori strips and sesame seeds, optional
Sauce for plain tuna
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- ½ tsp grated ginger
- Sriracha to taste, optional
Review ingredient labels for allergens, including fish, soy, wheat and sesame. Sauce substitutions need their own label check.
Assembly
- Cook rice according to its package. Prepare cucumber, avocado and toppings while keeping the tuna refrigerated. Do not put raw tuna onto piping-hot rice.
- Mix the sauce in a clean bowl. Reserve some separately for finishing before any sauce touches raw fish.
- For the raw version, dice the properly handled tuna and toss with a little sauce; keep refrigerated while preparing the bowls. For the cooked version, cook the tuna first and then add the sauce with clean utensils.
- Divide rice or greens between two bowls. Add tuna, cucumber and avocado, then garnish with green onion, nori and sesame.
- Serve promptly. Keep any unused tuna chilled and follow its package's use-by instructions.
Honey-Sesame Variation
For plain tuna, add 1 tsp honey or agave to the sauce above. Add cooked, cooled edamame and shredded carrot for more texture. For the Wasabi Poké product, taste its seasoning before deciding whether you want a sweet addition.
