Tuna Mayo Rice Bowl Recipes

TUNA MAYO DEOPBAP (KOREAN TUNA RICE BOWL)

Steps:

• Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
• Melt butter on medium-low heat in a pan. Add minced garlic and brown it for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Do not overcook, it's still cooking when you turn off the stove. Set aside to cool.
• Open a can of tuna and drain it. Set it into a bowl.
• Add the cooled garlic butter, mayonnaise and, a dash of salt to the tuna and mix well. Set aside (Make sure the butter has cooled before mixing it with the tuna else the heat will bring out the fishiness of the fish.)
• Remove the seed from the avocado and chop it into small pieces.
• Cut the cucumber into small pieces and set aside
• (Optional) If you are using green onions, finely chop them and set it aside
• In a small bowl, mix the eel sauce with water to thin it out. Set it aside
• Add approximately 1½ cups of cooked rice into a bowl. If you are using leftover rice from the fridge, microwave it first and let it cool a bit before adding ingredients on top.
• Put some avocadoes and cucumbers on top of the rice
• Scoop some garlic butter tuna and place it on top of the vegetables
• Drizzle everything with eel sauce, mayonnaise
• Pick a few toppings (green onions, sesame seeds, furikake, crushed seaweed snacks) and sprinkle them on top of the sauce
• Enjoy!

SPICY TUNA RICE BOWL

Steps:

• Pour rice into a heavy pot and add water; swirl to allow rice to settle. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat; do not stir. Reduce heat to low, cover, and continue to simmer for 15 minutes.
• While rice is cooking, place tuna into a large mixing bowl and break up with your hands or a fork. Toss in red bell pepper, jalapeno, 1/4 cup green onions, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, and lemon juice. Mix with a fork until thoroughly combined.
• Turn off heat and let rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
• Fluff rice with a fork to separate the grains and break up any large clumps; transfer into the mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with a spoon until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold like a rice salad, topped with red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon green onion.
