Prep the Tuna

Brush the tuna steaks with sesame oil and then coat each side with sesame seeds, pressing down to adhere.

Crust the Tuna

Sear the Tuna

Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.

Rest the Tuna

Chop the red bell pepper, carrots, mushrooms, and cabbage. Mince the ginger.

Prepare Vegetables

In the same skillet, add a bit more sesame oil and sauté the ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the red bell pepper, carrots, mushrooms, and cabbage, cooking until just tender. Stir in the spinach and edamame, cooking until spinach wilts.

Sauté

In a bowl, mix cooked rice, beaten egg, and cornstarch until well combined.

Prepare Mixture

Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Scoop spoonfuls of the rice mixture and fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.
