For Coconut Sticky Rice
- 1 ½ cups white rice
- 1 tsp coarse salt
- 3 cups coconut milk
- 2 ½ cups water
For Dressing
- ¼ cup canola oil
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
Toppings
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 1 fresh tuna steak
- salt
- chopped avocado, thawed frozen corn, sliced radishes, sliced green onion, cucumber, chopped ripe peach or mango, chopped peanuts as desired
For Coconut Rice
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Cook for 20-25 minutes, occasionally stirring to avoid sticking, until rice is creamy and tender. If the liquid evaporates before the rice has softened, stir in 1/2 cup of water and cook until absorbed.
For Tuna and Toppings
Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet or grill pan over high heat. Season tuna with salt on both sides then add to pan. Cook, flipping to sear all sides. Transfer to a cutting board, rest 5 minutes, then use a sharp knife to cut it in small pieces.
Top rice with seared tuna, desired toppings, and a big spoonful of dressing.
