A ridiculously easy, single-serving bowl featuring creamy, spicy tuna served over warm rice with crunchy fresh vegetables.

When you are cooking for one and need something incredibly satisfying but utterly effortless, this 10-Minute Spicy Tuna Mayo Rice Bowl is the perfect solution. Inspired by the flavors of a classic spicy tuna sushi roll, this quick deconstructed bowl brings together creamy, spicy, and crunchy textures all in one bite. The magic of this 10-Minute Spicy Tuna Mayo Rice Bowl lies in how perfectly the rich, creamy mayonnaise cuts through the heat of the hot sauce, creating a lush coating for the flaked fish. Pairing it with a bed of warm, fragrant jasmine rice creates a beautiful temperature contrast, while the highly perishable fresh cucumber and lettuce from your fridge add that essential, refreshing crunch. Whether you are working from home and need a quick lunch, or just want a cozy, low-stress dinner, this 10-Minute Spicy Tuna Mayo Rice Bowl delivers massive flavor without leaving you with a pile of dishes to wash.

Ingredients

  • 90 g Jasmine Rice (about 1/2 cup uncooked)
  • 150 g Canned Tuna (1 standard can)
  • 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Hot Sauce
  • 1 tsp Soy Sauce
  • 60 g Cucumber (about 1/2 cup diced)
  • 40 g Lettuce (about 1 cup shredded)
  • 0.5 count Red Chili (half a chili)
  • 1 tsp Sesame Seeds

Instructions

  1. 1
    Cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions until tender and fluffy. If you have leftover cold rice, simply reheat it in the microwave.
  2. 2
    While the rice cooks, thoroughly drain the canned tuna and place it in a mixing bowl.
  3. 3
    Add the mayonnaise, hot sauce, and soy sauce to the tuna. Use a fork to break up the fish and mix everything together until it forms a smooth, creamy consistency.
  4. 4
    Prepare your fresh vegetables: dice the cucumber, finely slice the red chili, and chop or shred the lettuce.
  5. 5
    Assemble the bowl by placing a bed of warm jasmine rice at the bottom. Arrange the shredded lettuce on one side and spoon the spicy tuna mixture right into the center.
  6. 6
    Scatter the diced cucumber over the top.
  7. 7
    Finish the dish by garnishing with the sliced red chili and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy immediately while the rice is still warm!

Chef's Tips

  • If you prefer a milder bowl, skip the fresh red chili and reduce the hot sauce to 1 teaspoon.
  • Make sure to drain the tuna as completely as possible before mixing so your sauce doesn't become watery.
  • Adding a tiny splash of vinegar or a squeeze of lemon to the tuna mixture will give it a nice pop of acidity.
