Notes

If you’re using Island Trollers tuna, don’t drain it. Those are the juices from the fish in the can, and the tuna will reabsorb them. If you’re using another brand of tuna packed in water or oil, you’ll want to drain off the liquid. And, other brands may come in different size cans; a little more or less tuna and it will be fine.

• Use sushi rice, jasmine rice, or brown rice for a heartier bowl
• Adjust the chili crisp and sriracha to control the spice level
• These bowls are delicious served over greens for a low-carb option
• For extra crunch, add radishes, shredded cabbage, or crispy wonton strips
