    Now make the filling. Rinse the rice in three changes of water until it runs clear. Cover it with cold water (1:3), salt it, and cook for 10 minutes over low heat. Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the rice steam for 10 minutes. Let the cooked rice cool. Hard-boil the eggs for 10 minutes, cool them in cold water, peel, and cut into small cubes. Wash and chop the green onion. Open the can of tuna and tip it into a strainer to drain the liquid.

    Grease a round baking pan (mine is a springform pan, about 6.5 inches / 16.5 cm across) with vegetable oil. Press the dough out by hand on the counter into a large round, then fit it into the pan, leaving the edges raised to form sides.

    Step 11

    Bake the pie at 340°F (170°C) for 30 minutes. Remove the finished pie from the pan. If your oven bakes unevenly, rotate the pie 180 degrees after 15 minutes for an even golden color.

  • Instead of canned tuna, you can use another canned fish you like, or make the pie with pre-cooked salmon, trout, pink salmon, and so on.
