Prep Time

20 minutes

Cook Time

35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 lb tuna steak
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped scallions and sesame seeds for garnish

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Small bowl
  • Frying pan
  • Saucepan
  • Wooden spoon
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the marinade.
  2. Add the tuna steak to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine rice, coconut milk, and water. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked through.
  4. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Remove the tuna steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Season both sides of the tuna with salt and pepper to taste. Cook the tuna steak for 2-3 minutes per side or until browned on the outside and cooked to your liking on the inside.
  5. Remove the tuna steak from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the tuna into thin strips.
  6. Divide the coconut rice into bowls. Top with sliced tuna. Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds.

Notes

If you want a spicier flavor, add some red pepper flakes to the marinade. You can also substitute brown rice for white rice if you prefer a healthier option. To make this dish even more colorful and nutritious, you can add some steamed vegetables like broccoli or snap peas on top of the rice.

Recipe Tips

Make sure you don't overcook the tuna steak as it can become tough and dry. If you want to get a nice sear on the outside, make sure the frying pan is hot enough before adding the tuna. You can also use a grill instead of a frying pan to cook the tuna. Just make sure to oil the grill grates first to prevent sticking. Don't forget to let the tuna rest for a few minutes before slicing it to keep it juicy. Finally, taste the rice before serving and adjust the seasoning if needed. Enjoy!
