SPICY TUNA RICE BOWL

What we have here is equal parts tuna and rice by weight, which for me, gives this the perfect balance between protein and starch. While this may remind some people of a fried rice dish, this is significantly lighter, and actually very low on the fat content, but that doesn't mean it's not satisfying, and like most rice dishes, it's very comforting.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
1 ½ cups water
1 (7 ounce) jar tuna packed in olive oil
½ cup finely diced red bell pepper
¼ cup finely diced jalapeno pepper
¼ cup finely sliced green onions
⅓ cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
½ teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons Sriracha hot sauce
½ lemon, juiced, or to taste
1 pinch Korean red pepper flakes (gochugaru), or to taste
1 teaspoon finely sliced green onion, or to taste

Steps:

  • Pour rice into a heavy pot and add water; swirl to allow rice to settle. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat; do not stir. Reduce heat to low, cover, and continue to simmer for 15 minutes.
  • While rice is cooking, place tuna into a large mixing bowl and break up with your hands or a fork. Toss in red bell pepper, jalapeno, 1/4 cup green onions, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, and lemon juice. Mix with a fork until thoroughly combined.
  • Turn off heat and let rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
  • Fluff rice with a fork to separate the grains and break up any large clumps; transfer into the mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with a spoon until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold like a rice salad, topped with red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon green onion.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups sushi rice
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup frozen shelled edamame
3 scallions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
1 pound sushi-grade tuna, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 English cucumber, peeled and finely chopped
Toasted sesame seeds, for topping

Steps:

  • Rinse the rice in a strainer until the water runs clear. Bring 2 cups water, the rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Let sit, covered, 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the sugar is dissolved, 30 seconds to 1 minute; stir. Transfer the rice to a large bowl. Add the vinegar mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until the rice is fluffy but still sticky, 2 to 3 minutes; let cool completely.
  • Bring a small saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the edamame and cook until tender and bright green, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool.
  • Combine the scallions, lime juice, orange juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the tuna and edamame and stir to coat; season with salt. Divide the rice among bowls and top with the tuna mixture and cucumber. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
