Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup White rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 1 can Canned tuna (in water or oil)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 stalk Green onion
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 1 sheet Nori (dried seaweed)
- 1 teaspoon Optional: Sriracha (for extra spice)
Instructions
Rinse the white rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Combine the rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the rice simmer for 15-18 minutes, until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes to finish steaming.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the tuna. Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and place it in a small mixing bowl.
Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha (if using) to the tuna. Mix well to combine, breaking up the tuna into smaller pieces.
Finely chop the green onion and cut the nori sheet into thin strips or small squares for garnishing.
Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and divide it evenly into two serving bowls.
Top each bowl with the seasoned tuna mixture.
Sprinkle chopped green onion, sesame seeds, and nori strips over the tuna and rice. Add more soy sauce or sriracha on the side if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Tuna Gohan!
