Top 5 dishes made from Tuna *I used Tuna in Springwater
1 . Carrot & Tuna Sesame Salad
Carrot & Tuna Sesame Salad
This is a Korean ‘Namul’ inspired salad. It is absolutely easy to make, yet really yummy. As I always use a can of Tuna in Springwater, I add a reasonable amount of Salt, but you need to alter the amount of Salt. If you use Tuna in Oil, you may wish to use the Oil as well. In that case, alter the amount of Sesame Oil.
Ingredient
1 can (95 g)
Tuna *I used Tuna in Springwater
2 teaspoons
Toasted Sesame Seeds
1 tablespoon
Sesame Oil
1 clove
Garlic
1/4 teaspoon
Salt *alter the amount
1/4 teaspoon
Asian Chicken Bouillon Powder *optional
1 teaspoon
Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon
Rice Vinegar
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Combine all the Dressing ingredients in a mixing bowl. *Note: If you use Tuna in Oil, you may wish to use the Oil as well. In that case, alter the amount of Sesame Oil.
* Step 2
Cut Carrots into thin strips. It would be easy if you use a vegetable slicer. *Note: I don’t cook the sliced Carrots, but you can blanch OR microwave them if you prefer.
* Step 3
Add the Carrots to the Dressing and mix well. Drain the can of Tuna and add to the Carrots, add Toasted Sesame Seeds as well, and mix to combine. Add extra Salt if required.

3 . Wombok & Tuna Salad
Wombok & Tuna Salad
This Asian flavoured salad of Wombok can be made very quickly. The thick white parts of Wombok often takes longer to get seasoned and softened, but I have found a trick. I use Salt and Microwave. It’s very quick and easy.

1 clove
Garlic *grated
1 tablespoon
Sesame Oil
1 tablespoon
Toasted Sesame Seeds

Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce)
1 can (95 g)
Tuna *I used Tuna in Springwater

* Step 1
Clean Wombok, cut into 1cm wide pieces, and separate hard white parts and soft parts.
* Step 2
Place the hard white parts into a mixing bowl, add Salt, and toss to mix well. Set aside for 15 minutes OR microwave for 1 minutes (I used 1100W microwave) to speed up.
* Step 3
Add grated Garlic, Sesame Oil, Toasted Sesame Seeds, Asian Chicken Bouillon Powder and Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce), and mix well.
* Step 4
Add soft parts of Wombok and drained Tuna, mix to combine, then add Spring Onion, and mix to combine. Serve immediately.

4 . ‘Kimpira’ Konnyaku (Konjac) with Tuna
‘Kimpira’ Konnyaku (Konjac) with Tuna
The dish I most frequently cook with a block of Konnyaku (Konjac) is ‘Kimpira’ Konnyaku (Konjac). It is a very popular dish in Japan. Today I added Tuna and Garlic. I think other Canned Fish such as Mackerel and Sardines can be used instead of Tuna. It’s best to serve this dish with freshly cooked Rice, but it is great for drinking, too.
Ingredient
1 block (250 g)
Konnyaku (Konjac)
1-2 teaspoons
Sesame Oil
1 clove
Garlic *finely chopped
1 can (95 g)
Tuna *I used Tuna in Springwater
2 tablespoons
Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon
Mirin
1/8 teaspoon
Chilli Flakes *OR more
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Rinse Konnyaku Block and cut into bite-size 4-5mm thin slices. Today I cut it in half lengthways and sliced. Cook in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then drain.
* Step 2
Combine all the Sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
* Step 3
Heat Sesame Oil and Garlic in the frying pan. When aromatic, add the drained Konnyaku pieces and stir for a few minutes, then add the Sauce. Cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens.
* Step 4
Add drained Tuna, and mix to combine. When the Sauce is gone, it’s done.
* Step 5
Sprinkle with some finely chopped Spring Onion and Toasted Sesame Seeds, and serve. *Note: You can add Shichimi (Japanese Chilli Spice Mix) for extra spiciness.

5 . Celery & Tuna Mayo Salad
Celery & Tuna Mayo Salad
I want to encourage all people who hate Celery to try this salad.

You can add Lettuce, Cucumber OR other salad vegetables to this salad to make the flavour less overwhelming if you are afraid to try.

Red Onion *thinly sliced
1 can (95 g)
