1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, rice vinegar, and honey until honey dissolves completely—taste and adjust heat level to preference.
2. Add cubed tuna to marinade, toss gently to coat, and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes (no longer or acid will start “cooking” the fish).
3. Preheat grill or grill pan over high heat until smoking hot—oil the grates well to prevent sticking.
4. Grill marinated tuna cubes for 1-2 minutes per side until golden crust forms but center remains pink and cool—don’t overcook.
5. Divide cooked sushi rice among bowls and arrange grilled tuna, sliced avocado, cucumber, edamame, and green onions in colorful sections.
6. Drizzle spicy mayo over everything, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve immediately while tuna is still warm from the grill.
