Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups cooked jasmine rice with 1/2 cup coconut milk and 2 tbsp rice vinegar. Warm over low heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until creamy and fragrant; then fluff with a fork.

  3. Step 3: Divide the warm coconut rice between two bowls. Top each with half the marinated tuna, 1/2 cup diced mango, and 1/2 cup diced avocado.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the bowls and serve immediately with 2 lime wedges for squeezing over each bowl.
