Instructions

Thinly slice the onions and radishes and place them in a small bowl or jar. In a separate bowl, stir together the vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour over the vegetables, making sure they are well coated. Let sit for 12–20 minutes, stirring or shaking once or twice so everything pickles evenly. Drain before using to keep the bowl fresh and prevent it from becoming watery.
Cook rice according to the package, then season lightly while warm with a splash of rice vinegar, a pinch of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Spread on a sheet pan or in a shallow bowl briefly to stop steaming, then let it cool slightly.
Whisk together the sriracha mayo ingredients until smooth and drizzle-ready. Thin with a few drops of water or lime juice if needed.
Divide rice between two shallow bowls, keeping the surface level and not packed tightly.
Arrange the marinated ahi over one section of the rice.
Add avocado, edamame, cucumber, pickled onions and radishes, and carrots in separate sections around the bowl so the colors stay distinct.
Sprinkle macadamia nuts over the ahi or avocado area for texture.
Finish with sesame seeds, a light drizzle of sriracha mayo, and a squeeze of fresh lime just before serving.

Notes

Use slightly cooled rice so it doesn’t wilt the toppings or affect the tuna's texture.

Drain excess marinade from the ahi before plating to prevent soggy rice.

Keep toppings structured rather than mixed for the best visual impact and balanced bites.

Macadamia nuts add richness, so keep the drizzle of sriracha mayo light to maintain balance.

Quick-pickled vegetables should be drained well before adding to avoid watering down the bowl.

Best served immediately after assembling for optimal texture and freshness.
