Ingredients
Scale
3 cups cooked jasmine or sushi rice, cooled
2 tbsp tamari or all-purpose soy sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp olive oil
½ cup whole-egg mayonnaise
3 tbsp tamari or all-purpose soy sauce
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp sriracha (optional)
425 g canned tuna in oil, drained
2 Lebanese cucumbers, sliced into half-moons
1 cup frozen edamame beans, thawed
1 avocado, diced
2 spring onions, finely sliced
1 tsp black sesame seeds
Chili crisp or chili oil (optional)
1 fresh jalapeño, sliced (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Spread cooled rice on a parchment-lined baking tray and drizzle with tamari, sesame oil, and olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Bake for 40-50 minutes until golden brown, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.
While the rice bakes, whisk together mayonnaise, tamari, vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and sriracha in a medium bowl.
In a large bowl, combine drained tuna, cucumber slices, edamame beans, diced avocado, sliced spring onions, and crispy rice.
Drizzle dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently before serving.
