How to cook
Simply mix cooked white rice with the sautéed ingredients for a delectable rice dish. This dish also goes well with potatoes and sweet potatoes, which become sweeter when steamed, as well as celery. Salmon flakes may be substituted for tuna for a delicious finish. If substituting salmon, omit the soy sauce from the seasonings to account for the salmon’s saltiness, and prepare the ingredients.

Cooking Steps
90minutes
Wash the rice
Place the uncooked rice in a bowl and pour in plenty of water. Rinse the rice, changing the water about 3 times while gently mixing with a whisk. Then soak the rice in water for 1 hour.
Substituting white rice with brown rice makes the finished dish even easier to eat. Soak overnight or longer if brown rice is used.
Prepare the ingredients
Peel and cut asparagus into small pieces. Remove the stems and seeds from the bell pepper and dice. Drain the sweet corn and set it aside. Remove green soybeans from their pods.
Sauté the vegetables
Place 2 cans of tuna with its liquid in a frying pan. Add seasonings and cumin seeds and cook over medium heat until all liquid is absorbed (a generous amount of cumin seeds is recommended). Cook off the liquid thoroughly, as the rice will become soggy if there is any liquid left.
Cook the rice
Drain soaking water, add white rice, water and dried kombu in a pot and heat over high heat without a lid. When it begins to boil, stir once with a wooden spoon to break up the rice, cover the pot with a lid and reduce heat to low, then simmer for 7 minutes.
Steam
Turn off the heat, remove the dried kombu, quickly transfer the cooked tuna and chopped vegetables from Step 3 to the pot, cover again, and steam for 7 minutes.
Finishing
Roughly mix all ingredients together and serve. If using packaged rice, mix the heated rice (microwaved as indicated) and ingredients in a large bowl before serving.
