SPICY TUNA RICE BOWL

Spicy Tuna Rice Bowl image

What we have here is equal parts tuna and rice by weight, which for me, gives this the perfect balance between protein and starch. While this may remind some people of a fried rice dish, this is significantly lighter, and actually very low on the fat content, but that doesn't mean it's not satisfying, and like most rice dishes, it's very comforting.

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
1 ½ cups water
1 (7 ounce) jar tuna packed in olive oil
½ cup finely diced red bell pepper
¼ cup finely diced jalapeno pepper
¼ cup finely sliced green onions
⅓ cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
½ teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons Sriracha hot sauce
½ lemon, juiced, or to taste
1 pinch Korean red pepper flakes (gochugaru), or to taste
1 teaspoon finely sliced green onion, or to taste

Steps:

Pour rice into a heavy pot and add water; swirl to allow rice to settle. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat; do not stir. Reduce heat to low, cover, and continue to simmer for 15 minutes.
While rice is cooking, place tuna into a large mixing bowl and break up with your hands or a fork. Toss in red bell pepper, jalapeno, 1/4 cup green onions, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, and lemon juice. Mix with a fork until thoroughly combined.
Turn off heat and let rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
Fluff rice with a fork to separate the grains and break up any large clumps; transfer into the mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with a spoon until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold like a rice salad, topped with red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon green onion.

TUNA MAYO RICE BOWL

Tuna Mayo Rice Bowl image

This homey dish takes comforting canned tuna to richer, silkier heights. Mayonnaise helps to hold the tuna together and toasted sesame oil lends incomparable nuttiness. You can adjust the seasonings to your taste: Use as much or as little soy sauce as you'd like for a savory accent. You can lean into the nuttiness of this rice bowl by sowing the top with toasted sesame seeds, or amp up the savoriness with furikake or scallions. A staple of home cooking in Hawaii and South Korea (where it is sometimes called deopbap), this simple meal is a workday workhorse.

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter or 4 tablespoons margarine
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3/4 cup water
1 -2 tablespoon curry powder, to taste
1/4 cup half-and-half
2 (6 1/2 ounce) cans tuna, well drained
3 cups cooked rice
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
cumin, to taste
garlic powder, to taste
chutney
peanuts
coconut

Steps:

Melt butter in saucepan; add onion.
Saute until golden.
Stir in flour.

Gently add tuna and simmer 5 minutes longer.
Spoon over hot cooked rice and sprinkle with parsley.
Serve with small bowls of the above condiments.

Tips:

Use high-quality tuna: Opt for tuna steaks or fillets that are fresh or frozen and have a vibrant red color. Avoid any tuna that appears brown or gray.
Choose the right curry paste: The type of curry paste you use will significantly impact the flavor of your dish. For a milder curry, use a yellow or green curry paste. For a spicier curry, use a red or Panang curry paste.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the tuna, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the tuna from cooking evenly and will also cause the curry paste to burn.
Use a large pot for the curry: The curry will expand as it cooks, so make sure to use a large pot to prevent it from boiling over.
Simmer the curry for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors of the curry to develop and meld together.
Serve with your favorite sides: Hot curried tuna and rice can be served with a variety of sides, such as steamed vegetables, papadums, or naan bread.
