# Instructions:

01 - Turn your oven to 220°C (200°C if using a fan setting). Line a tray with parchment and scatter the rice over the surface. Pour on the tamari, the optional dark soy, as well as the oils (olive and sesame). Stir to coat and spread it out flat in a single layer. Bake for 40–50 minutes, giving it a toss every 15 or so until it’s golden brown all over.
02 - In a bowl, whisk tamari, mayonnaise, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and optional sriracha together until smooth and creamy.
03 - Toss tuna, cucumbers, spring onions, avocado, and crisp rice together in a large bowl. Pour the dressing on and finish with sesame seeds, jalapeños, and chilli oil (if you like). Mix everything gently at the table before digging in.
