Tuna Avocado Rice Bowl With Mango

 If you love sushi, you are going to love this tuna avocado rice bowl with mango. This recipe is perfect for making sushi at home without all the difficult sushi rolling. This bowl has all the flavor of sushi but is so much easier to make.

 My favorite restaurant meals are sushi and poki bowls. Now that I am trying to save money, I am not eating out as much. So I have had to learn how to be creative in the kitchen with the ingredients that I have at home. I quickly learned how difficult it was to make sushi rolls and that I did not have fresh tuna in my fridge.

 Looking to make your own sushi dish with simple ingredients? You need to make a tuna rice bowl. This recipe is delicious and similar to a poke bowl. With just a few ingredients, you can enjoy this wonderful bowl for a quick meal. 

Ingredients Needed

 ~ Cooked White Rice

 ~ Rice Vinegar

 ~ Sugar

 ~ Safe Catch Tuna

 ~ Seaweed

 ~ Cucumber

 ~ Mango

 ~ Avocado

 ~ Spicy Mayo

My Recipe Inspiration Came From A Tuna Sushi Stack Recipe 

 It all started with a can of delicious tuna from Safe Catch. I was browsing through recipes on the Safe Catch website and came across a recipe that was similar to the viral tuna sushi tower. The photo of the tuna tower looked so amazing.

 I wanted to make this recipe for lunch but quickly realized that I did not have sushi rice or the tools needed to make the tower. All I had was a can of Safe Catch Elite Wild Tuna, white rice, an avocado, a cucumber, frozen mango slices, and spicy mayo, along with a craving for sushi. 

So I used my creativity and whipped up the next best thing to a sushi tower. I made a delicious Tuna Avocado Rice Bowl With Mango. This sushi bowl was so easy to make and tasted better than a poke bowl. 

Safe Catch Elite Wild Tuna

 I always keep several cans of tuna in my pantry for making sushi bowls. One of my favorite brands of canned tuna is Safe Catch Elite Wild Tuna. Safe Catch tuna is wild and sustainably caught and has the lowest mercury of any brand. The natural omega-3s and vital oils make this tuna taste so good!

With Safe Catch Elite tuna, there is nothing to pour down the drain. Simply open the can and use a fork to flake the tuna steak, then watch the natural omega-3s and vital oils be absorbed by the tuna. 

The Best Substitute For Sushi Rice

Most people don't have sushi rice in their pantry, but they most likely have white rice. Sushi rice is also more expensive than white rice. You can easily turn white rice into sushi rice with rice vinegar and sugar. 

To make sushi rice with white rice, simply add 1/4 cup of rice vinegar mixed with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt to a batch of white rice while it is still hot. This will give the rice a sticky texture with a sweet taste.

Steps to making the Tuna Rice Bowl

  1. Scoop rice in a bowl

  2. Add diced cucumber, diced avocado, and diced mango

  3. Sprinkle seaweed 

  4. Top with tuna

  5. Drizzle spicy mayo

 The kids are on summer break and all they seem to do is eat all day. You are tired of being a short-order cook. Now is the perfect time to teach your children how to make their own meals. Help your kids learn how to cook and let them help out with family meals.

  Kid-Friendly Salmon Pasta Salad

~ Is Delicious

~ Nutritious

~ A No-Bake Recipe

~ Perfect For Summer

~ Can be Made Gluten-Free

~ Loaded with Omegas

Ingredients Needed For Kid-Friendly Salmon & Pea Pasta Salad

~ Pasta - Any shape of regular or gluten-free pasta will do. I used a gluten-free Buckwheat Mezzi Rigatoni from Felicia. This organic, naturally gluten-free pasta is brimming with flavor and loaded with fiber, magnesium, and manganese.

~ Salmon - I used boneless canned salmon from Safe Catch.

~ Mayo - Any mayo will work in this recipe

~ Cherry Tomatoes

Teaching Kids How To Make The Salmon Pasta Salad

 The first step to teaching kids how to cook is to have them help you in the kitchen. Teach them how to measure ingredients and mix things together. For older kids, show them how to safely use a knife to cut up ingredients, heat up food in a microwave, and cook pasta on the stove. 

 I like to make a big batch of pasta and keep it in the fridge. Then kids can heat it up in the microwave with their favorite topping. Pasta will keep fresh in the fridge for up to a week.

 If you don't want your child using the stove, premake the pasta for this recipe and store it in the fridge.

Introduce kids to healthy tuna

Safe Catch Elite Wild Tuna 

 If you are worried about eating tuna because of mercury, you need to use Safe Catch Elite Wild Tuna in this recipe. Safe Catch is the only brand to test every tuna for mercury and in my opinion, has the best flavor. I discovered Safe Catch tuna a couple of years ago when they sent me a box of their delicious seafood products. I made spicy salmon waffles with their salmon and they were so delicious. My love of seafood is why I can never follow a vegan diet.

 These tuna pizza bites will become a family favorite meal. They are great for dinner or lunch. Serve the pizza bites with a bowl of marinara sauce for dipping. Kids will love these cheesy bites. The cheesy bites also make great snacks. I discovered the recipe the Tuna Pizza Bites on the Safe Catch website but modified the recipe to make it dairy-free since I am allergic to dairy products.
