  1. In a medium bowl, gently combine the cubed ahi tuna, soy sauce, sesame oil, sweet onion, and most of the green onions. Stir until the tuna is evenly coated.

  2. Cover the bowl and let the poke marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, but no more than an hour, to allow the flavors to meld.

  3. While the poke is marinating, prepare your toppings like dicing the cucumber and slicing the avocado.

  4. To assemble, divide the warm sushi rice among four bowls.

  5. Spoon the marinated poke mixture over the rice.

  6. Garnish with the remaining green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and any other optional toppings you desire.

  7. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
