You can use any rice for these bowls, but I love the nutty flavor and aroma of jasmine rice. I was lucky enough to find BROWN jasmine rice in the bulk bins at Whole Foods, so I went with that. I used 3 cups of cooked rice, which is about 1.5 cups of dry brown rice.
So, if you haven’t yet, cook the rice before you begin. Let it cool a bit.
Dice one medium cucumber.
Peel and shred one medium carrot.
Cook one cup of edamame according to the package directions (microwave on high with 2-3 Tbsp water for 2-3 minutes). Let cool.
Drain two cans of tuna and roughly chop 1/4 bunch of cilantro. I used an 8oz. package of guacamole, but you could certainly make your own or use avocado slices (you might need some extra sauce of some sort if using slices).
Then just build the bowl! Start with 3/4 cup rice, then add 1/4 cup edamame, 1/2 can of tuna, 1/4 cup guacamole, a handful of cucumber, a big pinch of carrots, a sprinkle of cilantro, and a drizzle of hot sauce over top. YUM!
I ate the one in the picture for lunch, then packed up the other three in containers for lunch the rest of the week. They stayed really nice and fresh for three days!
Be still my heart.
