Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Pull out a grater, a bowl, a small bowl, a large frying pan & a medium frying pan

Make the pickled radishes

  • Zest and halve the lime.
  • Trim and thinly slice the radishes and place in a bowl with the juice from half the lime and a pinch of salt.
  • Leave to pickle.

Prep the veg & make the sauce

  • Dice the cucumber into 1cm cubes. Thinly slice the spring onions.
  • Deseed and finely dice the chilli. Thinly slice the avocado.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the tamari, maple syrup, juice from the remaining lime, half the ginger & garlic paste, 2 tsp oil and half the diced chilli (to taste).

Make the sauce

  • Heat a large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the spring onion, remaining ginger & garlic paste and the rice, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
  • Cook for 2-3 mins, until piping hot, then remove from the heat.
  • Allow to cool to room temperature (if desired), then mix in the lime zest along with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, cook the tuna

  • Season the tuna chunks with salt and pepper.
  • Heat another medium frying pan with 2 tsp oil on a medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the tuna and cook for 4-5 mins, turning regularly, until golden and cooked through.
  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork.

Plate up

  • Serve the rice topped with cucumber, pickled radishes, avocado, rocket and tuna.
  • Drizzle over the sauce. Garnish with the diced chilli (to taste) and the sesame seeds.
