Method

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Add 140 ml water, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.

  2. Slice the cucumber4 into thin matchsticks, grate the carrot6 on a box grater, and finely chop the green10 onion.

  3. Cut the avocado3 in half, remove the pit, and cube the flesh into 2 cm pieces. Toss immediately with half the lime juice.

  4. Drain the tuna and break it into large chunks with a fork. Drain the corn.

  5. Mix the soy sauce with the remaining lime juice.

  6. Spoon the rice into a bowl and arrange cucumber4, carrot6, corn, avocado3, and tuna in sections around it.

  7. Drizzle with the dressing, sprinkle with sesame seeds and green10 onion. Serve immediately.

Tips

Why it works
Rinse rice to remove excess starch so it stays separate and doesn’t turn mushy when mixed with dressing later. Use cold water to stop cooking immediately and avoid gummy texture.
Substitutions
Replace cucumber with shredded carrot (40g) for crunch; swap avocado for 100g mashed mango if no avocado. Skip corn if unavailable. It’s just for texture.
Common mistakes
Overcooking rice turns it dry and clumpy; check by pressing a grain. It should hold shape but feel soft. Smell burnt soy sauce if you overheat it.
Storing and reheating
Eat fresh or store rice and toppings separately for 2 days; reheat rice in microwave (1 min) and add cold toppings. Freeze rice only if mixed with dressing. It’ll get soggy.
Serve with
Pair with miso soup for a light dinner or serve with a side of edamame for extra protein. Works for a quick weekday meal or a packed lunch.
