About this dish

The sauce holds just a teaspoon of gochujang, and what comes through is mostly soy sauce and sesame oil rather than heat.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Pat 180 g sashimi-grade tuna gently dry, then cut it into 1.5 cm cubes.

    Keep it in the refrigerator while preparing the other ingredients so the fish stays properly chilled.

  2. 2

    Thinly slice 100 g cucumber for a crisp, cool bite.

    Slice 100 g avocado into pieces thick enough to hold their shape, handling the softer parts gently so they do not mash.

  3. 3

    Mix 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon gochujang until smooth.

  4. 4

    Spread 180 g cooked brown rice in a bowl instead of mounding it tightly.

    If it is steaming hot, let it cool briefly, because excessive heat can soften the tuna and dull its chilled texture.

  5. 5

    Arrange the cucumber, avocado, 80 g seaweed salad, and chilled tuna over the rice in separate sections.

    Place wetter ingredients near the edge so their liquid does not make the rice soggy too quickly.

  6. 6

    Drizzle the sauce little by little over the bowl just before serving.

    Toss from the bottom upward with a spoon, using light movements so the tuna cubes and avocado slices stay intact.

Tips

Use only fresh, sashimi-grade fish.
Dissolve the measured gochujang in the soy sauce and sesame oil first so it coats the tuna and vegetables evenly.
