- Set aside to cool slightly.
2) Prepare the Protein:
- Cube the sashimi-grade tuna or salmon into bite-sized pieces.
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sweetener (optional), and freshly grated ginger.
- Toss the cubed fish in the marinade and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
3) Assemble the Bowl:
- Divide the cauliflower rice evenly between two bowls.
- Top each bowl with the marinated tuna or salmon.
- Add the sliced avocado, cucumber, shredded carrots, and edamame beans.
4) Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish each bowl with sesame seeds, green onions, and optional seaweed salad.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
