3 cups well cooked brown rice
2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
3 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
3 tablespoons tahini

Step 2 - Cool slightly and combine with the brown rice, tuna, pumpkin seeds, tamari, tahini, spring onion and parsley.
Step 3 - Mix the rice and vegetables until the mix starts to hold together. This is an important process and should take about 5 minutes.
