Asian Style Tuna Mayo Bread Recipes

ASIAN STYLE TUNA MAYO BREAD

Steps:

• For the bread:
• Mix the sugar in water, heat and dissolve. Let it cool to lukewarm.
• Meanwhile sift the flour, milk powder, salt and yeast into a clean dry plastic bowl.
• Once the liquid cools, pour into the dry ingredients along with coconut cream and canola oil.
• Knead for 10 minutes until elastic. If the dough is sticky, feel free to incorporate a small amount of extra flour, but take care not to add too much as this can cause the dough to become dry and tough.
• Put the dough into a clean and well-oiled plastic bowl; cover the bowl with wet kitchen towel and let prove for 35 minutes.
• To make the tuna filling:.
• Drain the tuna, and mix in the mayonnaise, chicken salt and pepper thoroughly. If using fresh tuna steak, fry the tuna with a little bit of oil. Flake it and mix in the mayonnaise.
• Punch down the bread and roll into a log. Cut into 60g pieces and roll each out to a circle. To the centre add a generous amount of tuna and fold carefully making sure that you seal them.
• Invert (it should be in a shape of a bun at this point) and put on an oiled baking tray (or you can save washing up by using baking paper). Repeat with all dough and tuna mix.
• Let the buns prove for another 30 minutes. Put a drop of extra mayonnaise and shallots for garnish on top of each bun. Bake for 20 minutes and serve while still hot. Yum yum!

GARLIC MAYO BREAD

Steps:

• NB. You could make this without pre-made garlic mayo, in which case I'd suggest 2 heaped tbsps of mayo and one large clove of garlic (minced/chopped).
• Pre-heat oven to 200c.
• Remove crusts from bread (if desired) and butter bread.
• Spread 1/2 tbsp garlic mayo over each slice of bread.
• Bake for approximately 10 minutes.

CAL-ASIAN SEARED TUNA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Flavored mayonnaise is easy to make, and it lends added appeal to any sandwich. Here, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger and green onions give the spread an Asian flair. Mix first 5 ingredients in small bowl to blend. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Sprinkle tuna with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tuna and cook to desired doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Spread mayonnaise mixture over 1 side of each bread slice. Top 4 bread slices with cucumber, radishes, then avocado, dividing equally. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with tuna steaks. Place remaining bread slices, mayonnaise side down, atop tuna. Cut sandwiches in half and serve immediately.

TUNA MAYO RICE BOWL

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir the tuna, mayonnaise, sesame oil and soy sauce to combine.
• Add the white rice to a bowl and spoon the tuna mixture on top. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds, furikake or scallions, if using.
