My vegan tuna sushi bowl is made out of watermelon! At first this may sound not appealing at all. Watermelon and soy sauce? In my head it just sounded wrong. Still, I gave this a try and thank god I did because it is amazing. The watermelon gets a raw tuna like consistency after baking it for half an hour. Then I let it marinade over night so it could take in all the flavour. And at last the watermelon doesn’t taste, feel and looks like watermelon anymore. Instead we made a delicious, fresh, juicy and vegan tuna!
A sushi bowl, especially my vegan tuna sushi bowl, is a great dish for warmer days! When it is a hot summer day I don’t see myself eating a warm casserole or soup – it is just to heavy. The vegan watermelon tuna is so fresh and juicy and a great alternative!

For the vegan tuna sushi bowl I added sushi rice into a bowl. I topped it with just vegan tuna and avocado. My boyfriend added my most hated vegetable – cucumbers (I still used his dish as the picture, because it looked way cooler!). For decoration we simply added black sesame seeds. We ate it with soy-sauce and sesame sauce.
There are many more ideas, what you could do with my raw vegan tuna, it doesn’t have to a sushi bowl. I can imagine it in self-made sushi maki or even nigiri – I’ll definitely try that next time I’m making sushi. Also – why not eat it as sashimi?
