This Spicy Tuna Roll Bowl is a deconstructed version of the spicy tuna roll. Protein packed tuna, brown rice, and veggies all smothered in the most magically spicy mayo sauce. This bowl is *almost* too good to be true!

“This is might be the best thing I’ve eaten in a while.” – quote from Trevor Debth about this Spicy Tuna Roll Bowl Recipe. 🙌 😉
I love it when that happens.
Trevor typically likes most of the food I make, but it’s a special victory when he states something is the BEST thing he’s eaten in a while.
Because of this, we’ve now had these bowls approximately every single night this week. 😉
No complaints here!
This Spicy Tuna Roll Bowl is a deconstructed version of everyone’s fave sushi – the spicy tuna roll. Complete with the magic spicy mayo sauce we all ♡, protein packed tuna, brown rice, and veggies – this bowl is *almost* too good to be true!
Reasons why this Spicy Tuna Roll Bowl > the “real” roll:
- It’s a heckofalot quicker to make than homemade sushi.
- It’s a heckofalot cheaper than buying sushi.
- It’s just a heckofalot easier. Mainly, because today, we’re using Chicken of the Sea® Solid White Albacore in Water, instead of raw tuna. I mean, I really do love raw fish sushi, but I’m not gonna lie, it kinda freaks me out a little bit, plus FIVE of Chicken of the Sea’s most popular products now come in EZ-Open Cans, which is awesome, because, just like this recipe in it’s entirety, these cans are the perfect convenient, time saving option for busy families. I mean helloooo who can ever find their darn can opener anyway?! 😉
Wanna hear something super cool? To celebrate the new EZ-Open Can packaging, Chicken of the Sea is hosting what they’re calling the “Pull It Off Game”, which features a virtual “kitchen” setting in an online game. YOU can try to grab a Chicken of the Sea can as it revolves on a Lazy Susan Table which gives YOU a chance to win $25,000 worth of instant prizes! All you have to do is play the game and grab the correct EZ-Open can.
Wanna play? Head to Chicken of the Sea’s Facebook page between now and November 12.
For real though, I played and I totally I lost, but you better believe I’m going to play again, because it’s kind of addicting. 😉
But now. Let’s talk bowls, because I don’t know about you, but I.Am.Hungry!
A tastes like the real deal, but it’s actually super simple and pretty darn healthy Spicy Tuna Roll Bowl?!
Count. Me. In.
Let me walk you through just how darn easy this recipe actually is.
There are only two parts:
- The Sauce
- The Everything Else
The Sauce
Whisk together mayo, Sriracha, lemon juice, sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar.
You guys. This sauce is simple, but it’s literally mind blowing delicious. I could eat it straight off the spoon.
The Everything Else
In a bowl, you’re going to combine brown rice, an EZ-Open Can of Chicken of the Sea Solid White Albacore in Water, sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, avocado, sesame seeds, jalapeños, maybe a little ginger if you’re feeling zesty, and whatever else your little heart desires.
Then, you’re going to
smother
on
the
dressing.
I mean.
Just smother it on.
Please, don’t be shy, because it’s so darn delicious.
After that, you might need a little sprinkle of salt, a little drizzle of sesame oil, again, don’t be shy, load up the bowl!
Then, you’re going to devour it all in 2.5 seconds and be amazed that you just ate a really delicious, pretty darn healthy, protein packed, super impressive, but actually crazy simple, tastes like the real deal: Spicy Tuna Roll Bowl. 😉
Make one for dinner tonight, or make a bunch for all your lunches next week.
It’s totally up to you!
Either way, I know you’re absolutely going to love this Spicy Tuna Roll Bowl Recipe. A spicy, creamy dressing + flakey tuna + fresh cucumber + crunchy carrots….
GIMME!

My family and I love this simple, yet amazing recipe. We call it restaurant quality, but we’re happy we don’t have to pay restaurant prices. I make the recipe as described, but one add on that’s not listed is a must for us…nori. We bought just one package when we first made this, and it has lasted through multiple servings. The nori makes it taste and feel very authentic and takes it over the top for us. Thank you for this amazing recipe!
Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy
You’re so welcome! I’ll have to try it with nori 🙂
Kaylie
Thank you SO MUCH for this recipe. I made it one day when I was craving spicy tuna, but trying to save money. Now my husband and I eat this at least once a week, Tuna Bowl Tuesdays; it is his favorite meal! So quick and easy and perfect for the days when our school and work schedules are opposite- we still have a little time to eat together. It’s SO YUM. We do the usual carrots, cucumbers, and avocado, but we are trying to think of some creative things to add to spice it up once in a while!
Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy
You’re so welcome! So glad you and your husband love it. 🙂 I think bell peppers could be a fun addition! You could definitely bulk it up with some romaine or cabbage as well! I hope that helps. 🙂
Erika
This looks great! Thinking of packing this for my daughter’s school lunch, but is the rice best eaten warm or cold? Should I pack it fully-made with ice in her lunch bag, or deconstruct it and send the rice in a thermos. How is it best served? Thank you.
Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy
I eat this bowl cold 🙂
Elissa
Loved this recipe! We doubled the quantities to serve two and were left with a bit of extra sauce. So I repurposed it for a coleslaw dressing the next day, just thinned out with an extra splash of rice wine vinegar and olive oil, it was also amazing!
Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy
Thanks so much Elissa! 🙂
Michelle
I’m so making this and putting torn nori sheets on top!!

Lisa @ Wine & Glue

Thanks Julie!! The sauce is seriously addicting!
Marina @ A Dancer's Live-It
Just like this recipe, that sriracha mayo dressing looks *almost* too good to be true. 😉 I’m such a huge fan of bowls like these and tuna rolls in general! Sushi is high up on my list, next to Mexican food of course!! 😛
Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy
Aww thanks Marina!!! <3
