What you'll need
- Cast iron skillet — Sears better than any non-stick; naturally non-stick once seasoned.
- Enameled Dutch oven — For braises, roasts, and one-pot mains.
- Instant-read thermometer — The only reliable way to nail doneness without guessing.
Instructions
- Cook the organic sushi rice according to package instructions and allow to cool slightly.
- Dice the tuna loin into 1/2-inch cubes and transfer to a large glass mixing bowl.
- In a small jar, whisk together the avocado oil, toasted sesame oil, coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, and raw honey.
- Pour the dressing over the diced tuna, tossing gently to coat evenly; let sit in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Prepare the vegetables by slicing the cucumber and dicing the avocados.
- Assemble each bowl by placing a scoop of rice at the bottom, followed by the marinated tuna, avocado, cucumber, and scallions.
- Place gyoza flat-side down in the pan, pressing lightly. Sear for 2–3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy — do not flip. Add 2 tbsp water, cover immediately, and steam for 1 minute to finish cooking through.
