Method
Whisk together the ingredients for the vinaigrette in a medium bowl.
Put the bamboo shoots in a small saucepan, cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, then drain and rinse in a sieve under cold running water. This will remove the tinny flavour from the shoots. Tip into the bowl with the vinaigrette and toss lightly together. Set aside.
Put the tuna in a bowl and toss with the marinade ingredients.
Cook the rice according to pack instructions.
Divide the rice between two bowls, arranging in a heap in the middle of each. Place the marinated bamboo shoots to one side of the rice, then, working around the bowl, add the mayonnaise or yoghurt, then the tuna, followed by the sweetcorn, carrot and lettuce. Drizzle generously with sriracha and serve.
