Instructions
Make the spicy mayo: in a small bowl whisk together the light mayonnaise and 2 teaspoons sriracha; thin with a little water until it reaches a drizzleable consistency and set aside.
Prepare the tuna: in a medium bowl combine the cubed tuna, 1/4 cup sliced scallions, 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari), 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon sriracha; gently toss to coat.
Assemble bowls: divide the cooked rice between 2 bowls.
Top each bowl with half of the seasoned tuna, sliced avocado, and the diced cucumber.
Drizzle the spicy mayo over each bowl, sprinkle with black sesame seeds and the remaining sliced scallions, and serve with extra soy sauce and sriracha on the side if desired.

Light mayonnaise keeps the sauce creamy but light.
