Nasi Bakar Sambal Tuna (Spicy Tuna Grilled Rice)

Heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Saut shallots and lemongrass until fragrant. Add ground spices. Cook until ground spices change color.

Add tuna. Keep stirring until all the ingredients mix well. Remove from the heat. Set aside.

Prepare 2 sheets banana leaves. Spread 1 plate of white rice out in an even layer on top of the banana leaves. Place 1/2 tuna sauce mixture in the center of white rice. Add basil leaves to taste. Fold banana leaves over to encase tuna sauce completely in rice, and secure each end with a toothpick. Do the same thing one more time with the rest of the rice.

Heat the grill pan over medium high-heat. Place banana leaves wraps on the grill and grill until banana leaves browned and charred 10-15 minutes each side.

Serve warm with tomato and cucumber slices!
