- 1 cup (250ml) water
- 100g kale leaves
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 300g sashimi-grade tuna, chopped
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind

- Place the kale in a colander and pour over boiling water. Drain and set aside to cool slightly. Squeeze out any excess water and finely chop. Add the kale and vinegar to the rice and stir to combine. Set aside to cool.
- Place the tuna in a medium bowl with the lemon rind, togarashi, sesame oil and salt and toss to combine.
- Divide the rice between bowls and top with the tuna mixture, edamame, purple basil and extra togarashi to serve. Serves 4
+ Shichimi togarashi is a Japanese spice mix. You can find it in Asian supermarkets.
