CAMBODIAN TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare the Roasted Rice Powder: Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat and add the rice. Cook, stirring or shaking the grains, until the rice has turned opaque and begun to take on a light golden color. Remoce from the pan and cool. Grind to a powder in a spice grinder. Prepare the Salad Dressing: In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil and add the sugar, stirring to dissolve. Set aside and allow to cool to room temperature. Grind the garlic and shallot in a food processor, and then add the rest of the ingredients and process until smooth. Prepare the Salad: In a small bowl, mix the tuna and rice powder together with 4 tablespoons of the dressing. Mix the cilantro, mint, cabbage, lettuce, red pepper and onion together in a large bowl. Toss with the remaining 1 cup of salad dressing (or to taste, start with ½ cup, toss, and taste, adding as you feel appropriate). Mix in the tuna and rice powder mixture and place on serving dish, garnishing with springs of mint and cilantro.
