FAQ
Is the tuna raw or cooked in this bowl, and is it safe to eat?
The poke-style bowl uses fresh raw tuna prepared with standard food-safety practices. If you’re pregnant, have a compromised immune system, or prefer not to eat raw fish, use fully cooked tuna or substitute protein.
Can I substitute tuna with other proteins?
Yes. You can swap in cooked chicken, tofu, salmon, or tempeh depending on your preference and dietary needs.
Is this dish gluten-free? How can I keep it gluten-free?
It can be gluten-free if you use gluten-free ponzu and check all ingredients. If in doubt, make your own gluten-free ponzu or swap to a different sauce.
Are there common allergens I should watch out for?
Potential allergens include soy (ponzu), sesame, and fish. Modify ingredients if you have allergies.
What gut-friendly nutrients does this dish offer?
Asparagus provides fiber and prebiotic potential; citrus notes contribute polyphenols; tuna supplies protein and omega-3 fats.
How can I customize the bowl with more veggies or greens?
Add extra vegetables like cucumber, radish, avocado, greens, or seaweed to increase fiber and nutrients.
How should I store leftovers and how long will they keep?
Refrigerate in an airtight container and consume within 1 day for best texture and safety; discard if there are signs of spoilage.
Can I prepare this in advance or meal-prep for the week?
You can prep the components ahead and assemble when ready; keep the tuna separate from the dressing until serving to maintain texture.
