  • This video is all about canned tuna. A can of tuna is an excellent source of protein and it can cost you as little as $1/can. These canned tuna dishes are easy and quick to make and they are as good as restaurant meals. All you need is some basic ingredients and some tuna. I made a tuna burger, a spicy tuna fried rice, some tuna pasta, and a (failed) tuna mayo onigiri.
    Hope you'll enjoy!

    Street-style tacos using canned tuna is also very simple and easy, and not to mention cheap and healthy. For anyone curious - tortilla, canned tuna, diced onions, fresh prepped or store bought Pico, cilantro, and a wedge’s worth of lime juice. If you want some additional flavor, you can add some paprika or chipotle powder, or some diced fruits like mango.

    My 17 year old son is a powerlifter and plays football and baseball. He also has Type 1 Diabetes. He likes to eat super high protein and lower carb meals, or mostly complex carb meals. We tried each one of these and he loves them all. Most of all the pasta. My mom loved the patties. She makes them all the time now. These are great easy meals that are full of flavor and super budget friendly.

    Tuna mayo onigiri are pretty easy and yummy. Give them another try.
    For the filling: tuna, mayo and some soy sauce
    For the rice you can also use Jasmin rice. I had great success with it. Best when it's freshly cooked and still slightly warm so it's sticky. Add some salt to the rice either when cooking (to the cooking water) or before forming. Remember to wet your hands when forming.
    For this type of onigiri I would recommend not to fry them.

      I use salt water to wet my hands before shaping the onigiri. I’ve also followed sushi rice recipes, but there’s something oddly magical about the flavor imparted by the salt water.

    With Japanese onigiri, the kind of rice matters a lot, you can't just use any type of rice, and you shouldn't season with sesame oil, that would be better for Korean gimbap. It's actually harder than it seems even if you have all the right ingredients. I still haven't perfected mine after almost 10 years.

      But just start with small quantities, then taste. You can always add more if necessary but you can't take it out if you've put too much.

    A tuna burger may also have other alternatives, such as a schnitzel or a minced cutlet depending on what your country calls it. If you can add some additives to it, maybe potatoes or rice + some salad, it turns out to be a nice dinner dish. I could possibly eat "Heinz" beans with BBQ sauce with the minced tuna cutlet prepared in this way.
