Step-by-Step Instructions for Spicy Tuna Rice Bowl

In a small bowl, combine diced English cucumber with soy sauce and toasted sesame oil. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of cooking oil. Once shimmering, add panko breadcrumbs and sauté for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Divide warm, pre-cooked jasmine rice into two bowls. Ensure the rice is still warm for better flavor absorption.
Layer each bowl of rice with marinated cucumber, cooked edamame, sliced avocado, and drained canned tuna. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top.
Top the assembled bowls with the crispy toasted panko and drizzle sriracha and mayonnaise over the top according to your taste.
Finish with sesame seeds and pickled ginger, if desired.
