  • 1 tablespoon salt-reduced soy sauce

Variations

  • To transform this into a poke bowl, substitute diced raw tuna or salmon for the tinned tuna.
  • To save time, you can buy pre-cooked brown rice in sachets, or even cook the rice the night before so you’re ready to assemble. Or use the rice that’s left over from another meal.
  • To save time, buy frozen pre-shelled edamame.
