Directions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Turn off heat and let rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes.

  4. 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.

Recipe Note

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.
