# Directions:
01 - Rinse jasmine rice under cold running water until water runs clear. Combine rice, water, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat, keep covered, and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

03 - In a medium bowl, gently combine drained tuna with 1 tablespoon of the prepared dressing. Set aside.
04 - Divide warm jasmine rice equally between two serving bowls. Top each bowl with equal portions of tuna mixture, diced avocado, cucumber, and sliced scallions.
05 - Drizzle remaining dressing evenly over both bowls.
06 - Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds, nori strips, and fresh cilantro or microgreens over each bowl as desired. Serve immediately while rice is warm.
