Ingredients- 2 cans (approx. 150g each) Tuna in oil
- 1 bowl of warm cooked rice
- 2 sheets of Gimbap seaweed (noshi-gim)
- 2cm length of pickled radish (danmuji)
- 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1/2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp Toasted sesame seeds
- A pinch of Black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, it’s crucial to drain the oil completely from the tuna. Open the tuna cans and place them in a sieve to let all the oil drip out. This step helps to cut through any richness and enhance the tuna’s savory flavor.
Step 2
The pickled radish will add a delightful crunch and a refreshing tang to your tuna mayo gimbap rolls. Finely chop the 2cm piece of pickled radish. The finer you chop it, the better it will integrate with the rice mixture.
Step 3
Now, let’s create the delicious filling! In a large bowl, combine the drained tuna and the finely chopped pickled radish. Add 1/2 tablespoon of sugar (measured with a rice spoon), 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined.
Step 4
Add the bowl of warm cooked rice to the mixture. Sprinkle in 1/2 tablespoon of soy sauce and a generous tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds. The soy sauce will add a savory depth to the rice, and the sesame seeds will boost the nuttiness. Mix again gently but thoroughly, ensuring each grain of rice is coated with the flavorful filling.
Step 5
Prepare your gimbap seaweed sheets, and you can cut them into smaller, manageable pieces if desired. Take a spoonful of the rice mixture and spread it evenly onto a piece of seaweed. Carefully roll it up tightly, making sure not to tear the seaweed. Rolling while the rice is still warm makes the seaweed more pliable and easier to work with.
Step 6
Voila! Your appetizing Tuna Mayo Gimbap Rolls are ready to be enjoyed. They are incredibly delicious as is, but for an extra touch, you can drizzle a little extra mayonnaise on top for presentation and added flavor. This dish is a delight for both the eyes and the palate!
