Submitted by: admin on April 10, 2020

2 servings

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
1 1/2 cups water
1 (7 ounce) jar tuna packed in olive oil
1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup finely diced jalapeno pepper
1/4 cup finely sliced green onions
1/3 cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons Sriracha hot sauce
1/2 lemon, juiced, or to taste
1 pinch Korean red pepper flakes (gochugaru), or to taste
1 teaspoon finely sliced green onion, or to taste

Instructions

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.
