Method
Cooking the Coconut Rice
- 1
Prepare the Coconut Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine jasmine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Preparing the Vegetables
- 2
Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then add bok choy, red bell pepper, and shiitake mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cooking the Tuna
- 3
Sear the Tuna
Pat the tuna steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. In a skillet over high heat, add sesame oil. Once hot, add the tuna steaks and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.
