- Wash the rice in a sieve until the water runs clear. Place in a saucepan, cover with 600ml cold water and add½tsp salt. Bring the rice to the boil, reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid and cook for 12-13 mins until fluffy. Remove from the heat and leave to steam with the lid on for 5 mins. In a bowl, whisk all the dressing ingredients together and set half aside. Toss the avocado, cucumber, tomato, spring onion and coriander in the other half.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan or wok over a medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the tuna and fry for 6 mins, turning halfway through. Remove from the pan and cut into 1cm cubes. (Skip this step if you’re using tinned tuna.)
- Serve the rice in bowls, topped with the tuna pieces, salad and mango. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and add a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
- Tip: This dish can also be made with tinned tuna. Follow the recipe as usual but top the rice and salad with cold tinned tuna at the end instead.
