Method ⏲️

Bake, toss, crunch! This rice bowl is all about crispy edges and flavour explosions in every bite.

Step 1: Make Crispy Rice

Toss cooked rice with 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Spread in a thin layer on a parchment-lined tray and bake at 200°C for 20–25 minutes, stirring once, until edges are golden and crisp.

Step 2: Chop the Veggies

Dice 2 cucumbers, grate 2 carrots, thaw ½ cup baby peas, shred ¼ cabbage, dice 1 avocado, thinly slice 3 spring onions and finely chop 1/3 cup of roasted peanuts.

Step 3: Add the Dressing

Drizzle Sesame Dressing over your veggies. This should be nicely coated. Add to your taste.

Step 4: Mix It Altogether

Once the rice is crisp, toss it with the vegetables and top with peanuts and tuna.
