Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions, typically in a pot with 2 cups of water for about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the rice is cooking, wash and chop the bok choy, carrots, and asparagus. Steam or sauté them in a pan over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until tender.

  3. 3

    Season the Tuna

    Rub the ahi tuna steaks with five-spice powder, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides.

  4. 4

    Cook the Tuna

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna steaks for about 1-2 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish. Adjust cooking time if you prefer them more well-done.

  5. 5

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, serve a portion of white rice, arrange the sautéed vegetables, and place the seared tuna on top. Drizzle with eel sauce and garnish with fresh basil and sliced green onions.
