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 fat content, but that doesn't mean it's not satisfying, and like most rice dishes, it's very comforting.

Ingredients

  • uncooked long-grain rice: 1 cup
  • ½ cups water: 1 piece
  • tuna packed in olive oil: 1 jar (7 ounce jar)
  • red bell pepper: 0.5 cup (finely diced)
  • jalapeño pepper: 0.25 cup (finely diced)
  • finely sliced green onions: 0.25 cup
  • seasoned rice vinegar: 0.33333 cup
  • lemon: 0.5 piece (juiced, to taste)
  • soy sauce: 2 Tbsp
  • Sriracha hot sauce: 2 tsp
  • sesame oil: 0.5 tsp
  • pinch Korean red pepper flakes (gochugaru): 1 piece (to taste)
  • finely sliced green onion: 1 tsp (to taste)

  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, lemon juice, soy sauce, Sriracha, and sesame oil. Mix with a fork until thoroughly combined.

  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.
