LITTLEMAFIA'S RICE & TUNA

I'm almost embarassed to post this, but since it's my one of my DD's favorite dishes I thought I should post it maybe someone else will like it too. And maybe it's gonna help another mom with a picky eater. Change the quantities, I only guessed. I'm glad if my DD eats the tuna, so sometimes is less rice,sometimes more. She can't eat this much at once, maybe twice.

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.

SPICY TUNA RICE BOWL

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.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

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.

Tips:

  • Use sushi-grade tuna for the best flavor and texture. If you can't find sushi-grade tuna, you can use regular tuna, but it won't be as good.
  • Make sure the rice is cooked properly. The rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a little bit of a bite to it. If the rice is overcooked, it will be mushy and the dish will not be as good.
  • Use a good quality soy sauce. The soy sauce is one of the key ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is made with natural ingredients and has a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. This recipe is a great starting point, but you can add other ingredients to taste. Some popular additions include avocado, cucumber, and pickled ginger.

Conclusion:

Little Mafia's Rice Tuna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The combination of tuna, rice, and vegetables is a great way to get a healthy and satisfying meal. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy tuna, then this recipe is definitely worth trying.
