It’s Back to School Season indeed and we are starting to crave Teriyaki Tuna Rice Bowl with a tad of Yum Yum sauce for Sunday Supper … This time of year has a different meaning depending at the stage of your children’s lives. To some it’s the first day of kindergarten. To others, the first day of High School. And yet to others it is the first day of College. This Back to School Season invokes so many emotions in me. It is the last time that I will have all four of my children at different stages of their lives. My baby is in his last year of grade school. Can you believe that? My second oldest is a Senior in High School and I have one in Middle School and one in College.
I recently spent time helping my daughter get ready to move into her sorority house at University of Florida. What an exciting time for her that brought back so many memories for me. One of our favorite places to eat when we are in Gainesville is The Swamp. Every Gator loves to dine at this landmark restaurant. One of Alexandra’s favorite dishes to order is the Teriyaki Tuna Rice Bowl. I recently tried it for the first time and absolutely loved it. I knew immediately this was one dish that I wanted to duplicate at home. So here is my take on the Teriyaki Tuna Rice Bowl.
- /4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tuna steaks sliced thin
- 4 cups of cooked white rice
- 1 cucumber cut julienne style
- 2 green onions sliced thin
- ½ cup Yum Yum Sauce
- 1 avocado cut into ½ inch cubes (optional)
- Combine the first seven ingredients and refrigerate overnight.
- Remove ⅓ cup for basting, cover and refrigerate.
- Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag and add tuna.
- Refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
- Drain and discard marinade.
- Grill tuna over medium heat for 5-6 minutes on each side, basting frequently with reserved marinade.
- Plate the rice in bowls.
- Add Tuna and cucumber.
- Sprinkle with green onions.
- Drizzle with Yum Yum Sauce
- Add Avocado if desired
This recipe for Teriyaki Tuna Rice Bowl is so easy and the Yum Yum Sauce drizzle, while not mandatory, is icing on the cake. Remember how I told you how Yum Yum Sauce makes everything taste amazing. It’s true!

August 26, 2012 at 6:53 pmA good friend of ours goes fishing and gets us lots of tuna (yes we are spoiled). And it’s WONDERFUL with teriyaki sauce. YUMMY!

August 26, 2012 at 7:55 pmI absolutely NEED to try this, it sounds amazing! You can use Yum-Yum sauce in SO many things!!

August 26, 2012 at 9:41 pmWOW, I love “different” dishes, this is surly different from our norm and I can’t wait to introduce some fresh new idea’s this season! Thanks for the inspiration! 🙂
Tara Noland
August 27, 2012 at 6:11 pmThat looks so good!! I have never heard of Yum Yum sauce before. You have so many more great products in the states than we do up here in Canada.

August 29, 2012 at 12:53 pmI use to work at Rafferty’s when I was at grad school in Gainesville. Wonder if they are still there. Hearing you talk about UF brings back memories for me too! Your dish sounds amazing and I feel inspired to make it. I may change it up and make the tuna raw though
Jamie (Mama.Mommy.Mom)
August 29, 2012 at 9:34 pmSounds delicious! Love me some yum yum sauce. 🙂

August 31, 2012 at 3:15 amIsabel, I’ve slowly but surely been working through everyone’s posts and I’m still not done (it’s Thursday night, for goodness sakes!). I’m glad to finally be here on your post. The plating of your dish is glorious! I never liked tuna until recently and now I can’t get enough of the stuff – this sounds absolutely delicious. I can’t believe you have four kids and still do all that you do. I’m in complete awe of you!
