Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 5 cans of tuna. Make sure to thoroughly drain all the oil from the tuna cans. (This recipe makes a generous amount, perfect for a few meals.)
Step 2
Place the drained tuna into a wide pan and begin heating over medium-low heat.
Step 3
Now it’s time to add all the sauce ingredients for the pulled pork. Start by adding 4 tablespoons of tomato puree.
Step 4
Add 3 tablespoons of Heinz mustard to enhance the flavor.
Step 5
Add 2/3 tablespoon of whole grain mustard, which provides a pleasant texture with its seeds.
Step 6
Pour in 150ml of water to adjust the consistency of the sauce.
Step 7
Add 9 tablespoons of AI steak sauce for a deep, rich flavor.
Step 8
Add 1 tablespoon of whole basil to bring out its aromatic quality.
Step 9
Also include 1 tablespoon of whole oregano for an exotic herbal note.
Step 10
Add 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, a key ingredient for umami.
Step 11
Don’t forget to add 2 tablespoons of ketchup for a touch of sweetness and acidity.
Step 12
Sprinkle a pinch of ground black pepper for added aroma. (Adjust the amount to your preference.)
Step 13
Finally, add 1 tablespoon of sugar to balance the flavors.
Step 14
Now, mix all the sauce ingredients and tuna in the pan thoroughly with a chopstick or spatula while simmering. Ensure everything is evenly combined and prevent clumps.
Step 15
Continue simmering over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Cook until the liquid reduces and the sauce becomes thick, allowing the tuna to break down into a pulled pork texture. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
Step 16
Prepare the vegetables for the rice bowl. Wash the onion and cabbage thoroughly and slice them thinly. The thickness of the slices will affect the texture, so thin slices are recommended.
Step 17
Break 2 eggs into a bowl and beat them with a chopstick to remove the chalazae, creating a smooth mixture. This is important for fluffy scrambled eggs.
Step 18
Prepare another pan, lightly oil it, and heat over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced onion and cabbage and stir-fry quickly over high heat until they are just slightly softened. The key is to maintain a slight crispness in the vegetables.
Step 19
Reduce the heat of the vegetable pan to low. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the pan. As the edges of the eggs begin to set, use a chopstick to gently stir and create fluffy scrambled eggs.
Step 20
When the eggs are about 80% cooked, turn off the heat immediately. Use the residual heat in the pan and a chopstick to gently break up the scrambled eggs further, finishing the cooking process. Be careful not to overcook, as they can become dry.
Step 21
Now it’s time to assemble the delicious rice bowl. Place a suitable amount of warm rice into a bowl. Adjust the rice portion according to your preference.
Step 22
Arrange the sautéed onions and cabbage attractively on top of the rice. The colors of the vegetables will make the rice bowl look even more appetizing.
Step 23
Next, add the fluffy scrambled eggs and generously top with the star ingredient: the tuna pulled pork.
Step 24
Finally, drizzle with mayonnaise to your liking. If you enjoy a bit of heat, sprinkle some crushed red pepper for an extra kick that enhances the flavor.
Step 25
Your impressive Tuna Pulled Pork Rice Bowl is complete! Enjoy your delicious creation 🙂
