Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Cook the Rice
    Water being poured from a glass measuring cup into a rice cooker pot with white rice.

    Combine the washed white rice and water in your rice cooker, using a 1 to 1.1 ratio. Add a brief spray of oil and a dash of white vinegar to ensure the grains stay perfectly separated, then start the cooking cycle.

    Tip: Adding a little white vinegar and oil helps make the rice grains distinct.
  2. 2Shred Lettuce
    Lettuce leaves being sliced into shreds on a cutting board with a knife.

    Slice fresh green lettuce leaves into thin shreds on a purple cutting board.

    Tip: If you have a sensitive stomach, you can microwave the shredded lettuce briefly.
  3. 3Cube Avocado
    A halved fresh avocado being prepared on a cutting board.

    Cut a halved fresh avocado into small cubes on the cutting board.

    Tip: Ensure the avocado is ripe for the best creamy texture.
  4. 4Mix the Dressing
    Honey being squeezed into a bowl with a dark soy sauce mixture.

    In a small bowl, whisk together the dark soy-based sauce and a generous squeeze of honey. If you saved the oil from the canned tuna, stir it in here for extra richness.

    Tip: You can use this refreshing sauce for poke bowls or add birds eye chilies if you like it spicy.
  5. 5Assemble the Bowl
    Shredded lettuce and canned tuna being placed over cooked white rice in a bowl.

    Layer the cooked white rice in a serving bowl, then arrange the shredded lettuce, cubed avocado, sweet corn, and flaked tuna evenly on top. Drizzle generously with the honey soy dressing just before eating.

    Tip: The oil from the canned tuna can be reserved to help make the sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can use water-packed tuna, but you will miss out on the oil to enrich the dressing, so you may want to substitute a teaspoon of sesame oil or olive oil instead.
Using a 1 to 1.1 ratio of rice to water, along with a tiny spray of oil and a dash of white vinegar before cooking, helps prevent the grains from sticking together.
Yes, you can chop the vegetables and mix the dressing in advance, but it is best to cut the avocado right before serving to prevent oxidation.
