Any type of veggies will work. Yaga\u2019s uses brussel sprouts. In my version I used A package of Ready Veggies from Trader Joe\u2019s. I think roasted broccoli would be another excellent choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jasmine rice cooked using whatever method you prefer, rice cooker, stovetop, instant pot. I cook mine in an Instant Pot and it always comes out great. 2 cups rice, rinsed, to 2 1\/4 cups water. 3 minutes on high pressure, then pressure release after 10 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the tuna, sear about 2 minutes on each side in an oiled skillet on medium high heat. Was my first time to cook tuna like this and it turned out pretty good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mix up some mayonnaise with Siracha to taste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sprinkle rice with crushed ginger and a touch of salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Top with tuna and veggies. Squeeze half a small lemon over the entire dish. Add a dollop of the Siracha Mayo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Notes<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I keep a jar of this crushed Ginger in my fridge and spare ready to go in the pantry. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/amberdidathing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_1666.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amberdidathing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_1666.jpg 602w, https:\/\/amberdidathing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_1666-226x300.jpg 226w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And here is a link for an Instant Pot on Amazon\u2026best time to get one is coming up with Black Friday deals.
