Ingredients- 1 can Tuna (approx. 150g)
- 2 Eggs
- 2 bowls cooked Rice (warm)
- 2-3 Tbsp Mayonnaise (adjust to taste)
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- Pinch of Sesame seeds or ground sesame
- Pinch of Seaweed flakes
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
The key to a great tuna mayo bowl is draining the oil thoroughly. Open the tuna can and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to drain the oil. You can gently press it with a paper towel for extra dryness. Transfer the drained tuna to a separate bowl. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them well with a whisk or fork until smooth, breaking up the chalaza (the white, stringy bits).
Step 2
Lightly oil a non-stick pan and heat it over medium-low heat. Pour the whisked eggs thinly to create a delicate crepe. It’s important to reduce the heat before the egg is fully cooked to maintain a soft texture. Once cooked, let the egg crepe cool slightly, then roll it up and slice it thinly into strips.
Step 3
Your drained tuna and shredded egg crepe are now ready. Let’s prepare to assemble the rice bowl.
Step 4
Place the warm, cooked rice evenly into a serving bowl. It’s best to let the rice cool slightly if it’s too hot, as very hot rice can cook the toppings.
Step 5
Add 2-3 tablespoons of mayonnaise to the drained tuna and mix well until the tuna is evenly coated. You can adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your preference.
Step 6
Sprinkle a generous pinch of seaweed flakes over the rice. This adds a savory flavor and helps absorb some moisture.
Step 7
Arrange the mayonnaise-mixed tuna on top of the seaweed flakes. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of soy sauce with a pinch of sesame seeds. Serve this as a dressing on the side or drizzle it over the tuna. Mix the sauce with the rice just before eating, or add it to your taste. For a spicier kick, you can mix a little gochujang (Korean chili paste) with the soy sauce instead.
Step 8
Congratulations! Your delicious and easy Tuna Mayo Rice Bowl is complete. Enjoy this simple yet satisfying meal!
