Main Ingredients- 1 can (150g) Tuna
- 1/2 small Onion
Seasonings & Toppings- 1.5 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2/3 tsp Sugar
- 2/3 tsp Vinegar
- 1 bowl Cooked Rice
- Shredded Gim (Seaweed) (Optional)
- 1.5 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2/3 tsp Sugar
- 2/3 tsp Vinegar
- 1 bowl Cooked Rice
- Shredded Gim (Seaweed) (Optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare half an onion. If children will be eating this, it’s best to mince it very finely. Soaking the minced onion in cold water for about 5 minutes will remove its pungency and enhance its crisp texture. Squeeze out any excess water. For the tuna, drain the oil thoroughly to ensure a clean, non-greasy taste.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna and the squeezed minced onion. Add 1.5 tablespoons of mayonnaise for a creamy flavor. You can adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your preference.
Step 3
Add 2/3 teaspoon of sugar to subtly enhance the sweetness. Be mindful not to add too much sugar, as it can disrupt the overall flavor balance. Stick to the measurement.
Step 4
Add 2/3 teaspoon of vinegar to cut through any richness with its tangy flavor. Any type of vinegar you have at home, such as apple cider vinegar or brown rice vinegar, will work well.
Step 5
Using a spatula or spoon, mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until well combined. Gently break apart the tuna while mixing to prevent clumps. This step completes the main topping for your rice bowl.
Step 6
Now, place one bowl of warm, cooked rice into your serving dish. Fluffy, well-cooked rice is ideal for rice bowls.
Step 7
Generously spoon the prepared tuna and mayonnaise mixture over the rice. Piling it high to cover the entire surface of the rice will make it look even more appetizing.
Step 8
For an enhanced visual appeal and extra flavor, you can use mayonnaise for drizzling. Prepare a small zip-top bag or a squeeze bottle by snipping off a tiny corner or poking a few small holes with a toothpick. Be careful not to make the holes too large, or too much mayonnaise will come out.
Step 9
Drizzle the prepared mayonnaise over the rice bowl in a zigzag pattern or concentric circles for a beautiful presentation. A little ketchup drizzled on top is also a delicious option if you like.
Step 10
Finally, sprinkle some shredded gim (seaweed) for a nutty and umami finish. Your delicious tuna mayo rice bowl is complete! Serve it in a clean bowl and enjoy your meal.
