Ingredients
- 1 can (90g) Canned Tuna
- 10g Purple Onion (or white onion)
- 1-2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 20g Sprouts (or your favorite salad greens)
- 20g Chives
- 1 Egg
- 100g Warm Cooked Rice (1 serving)
- Pinch of Black Pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s drain the tuna to remove excess oil and reduce saltiness. Place the drained tuna in a sieve to let any remaining liquid drip out.
Step 2
Finely mince the onion. Using purple onion adds a beautiful color, making the dish visually more appealing. In a small bowl, mix the minced onion with 1-2 tablespoons of mayonnaise. If you have about 10 minutes to let it sit, the flavors will meld beautifully, creating a wonderful synergy between the onion and tuna.
Step 3
Place the warm cooked rice into your serving bowl. Top generously with fresh sprouts or your chosen salad greens. The crisp texture and freshness will add another dimension to your bibimbap.
Step 4
Arrange the greens artfully around the rice to create a ‘wreath’. Then, chop the clean chives into bite-sized pieces (about 3-4 cm) and gently pile them over the rice. The fresh aroma of chives will whet your appetite.
Step 5
Now, place the prepared tuna and mayonnaise mixture on top of the chives. The savory richness of the tuna will further enhance the flavor of the bibimbap.
Step 6
It’s time to add the egg! A sunny-side-up egg is a quick and delicious choice. If time allows, consider making a poached egg for a more refined touch. Breaking the yolk of a sunny-side-up egg and mixing it into the bibimbap adds a wonderful creaminess.
Step 7
Finally, mix everything together with chopsticks or a spoon and enjoy! Your visually appealing and incredibly tasty Tuna and Chive Bibimbap is now ready. It’s a satisfying and delicious meal that’s perfect any time!
