❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Spicy Tuna Rice Bowl

1. Can I use brown rice instead of white rice?

Yes, brown rice works well and adds more fiber. Just cook it according to package directions and season the same way.

2. How can I make this dish spicier?

Add extra sriracha to the tuna mixture or drizzle more spicy mayo on top. You can also add sliced jalapenos or a dash of cayenne pepper.

3. Can I use canned tuna in water or oil?

Either works, but I prefer tuna packed in water to keep the bowl lighter. Just drain it well before mixing.

4. How do I store leftovers?

Store the rice, tuna, and toppings separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Assemble just before eating to keep everything fresh.

5. Is this recipe gluten-free?

Use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari, and check that your sriracha is gluten-free. Most brands are, but it is always good to verify.
