Ingredients:
2 cups cooked, chilled white rice
2 cans tuna, drained
1 cup boiled edamame
1 large cucumber, sliced
½ red onion, thinly sliced
3 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon honey
½ teaspoon chili flakes, or to taste
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Spread the cooked, chilled rice on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
2. Drizzle the rice with 1 tablespoon of oil and toss well. Spread it out in a thin, even layer.
3. Bake for 25–30 minutes, stirring once or twice during baking, until the rice is golden and crispy. Allow it to cool slightly.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, lemon juice, sesame oil, honey and chili flakes until the dressing is well combined.
4. Place the drained tuna, edamame, cucumber, red onion and green onions in a large bowl.
5. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to distribute the flavors without breaking up the tuna too much.
6. Add the crispy rice just before serving and toss lightly to preserve its crunch.
7. Taste the salad and adjust the salt and black pepper to your preference.
8. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and green onions, then serve immediately.
