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.

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (5-ounce) can tuna (preferably any variety stored in oil), well drained
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1 cup cooked white rice (preferably short- or medium-grain)
Toasted white or black sesame seeds, furikake or chopped scallions, for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir the tuna, mayonnaise, sesame oil and soy sauce to combine.
  • Add the white rice to a bowl and spoon the tuna mixture on top. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds, furikake or scallions, if using.

Tips:

  • Use fresh tuna for the best results. Fresh tuna has a milder flavor and a more tender texture than canned tuna.
  • Don't overcook the tuna. Overcooked tuna is dry and tough. Cook the tuna just until it is cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Use a variety of seasonings to flavor the tuna cakes. Some popular seasonings include onion, garlic, dill, and lemon pepper. You can also add a bit of heat with cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • Serve the tuna cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Tartar sauce is a classic choice, but you can also try remoulade sauce, cocktail sauce, or even a simple lemon vinaigrette.

Conclusion:

Super Simple Tuna Cakes with Tartar Sauce is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tuna cakes are made with just a few simple ingredients, and they can be cooked in under 30 minutes. The tartar sauce is also easy to make, and it adds a delicious tang to the tuna cakes. This recipe is sure to be a hit with the whole family!
