My review
Spicy Tuna Rice Bowl
72k
Chef John
"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."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- 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.

Footnotes
- Chef's Notes:
- If using unseasoned rice vinegar, adjust with a few pinches of sugar and salt.
- You can use any hot sauce you like.
- If you use a little less dressing, a shorter grain of rice, and make this a little stickier, you can actually press this together and form it into balls which can be rolled in sesame seeds for an incredible handheld snack to bring to work or a picnic.

This is everything I want in life. I love this! I ran out of rice vinegar so I used half rice vinegar and some white wine vinegar and it's still really good. If you are subbing the vinegar, use...

I guessed right on the rice vinegar quantity! Thanks for the recipe though. I also added a splash of Shaoxing rice wine because my vinegar wasn't seasoned. I didn't think it needed any more suga...

Sounded interesting and was a nice change of pace, just not a keeper for us.
