Main Ingredients- 2 instant rice packs (approx. 300-400g)
- 1 can of tuna (150g)
- 15cm green onion
- 1/2 onion (small size)
- 1/3 carrot (small size)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables that will add flavor to your fried rice. Finely chop the green onion. Dice the onion and carrot very finely for a pleasant texture when stir-fried. (Dicing them rather than slicing will integrate them better into the fried rice and enhance the flavor.)
Step 2
Open the can of tuna and drain the oil thoroughly using a sieve. Don’t discard the drained tuna oil; set it aside. Using this oil will add a rich umami flavor to your fried rice.
Step 3
Heat a frying pan over medium heat, add the reserved tuna oil (or 1 Tbsp cooking oil), and stir-fry the chopped green onions for about 2 minutes to release their aroma. The green onions should become slightly golden and fragrant.
Step 4
Once the green onion aroma is released, add the diced onion and carrot. Stir-fry together for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Allow the vegetables to release some moisture and meld their flavors.
Step 5
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. Pour the 2 Tbsp of soy sauce into the empty space and let it bubble for a moment. Once the soy sauce slightly caramelizes, mix it with the vegetables and the drained tuna. Stir-fry together for about 1 minute, allowing the soy sauce flavor to deepen.
Step 6
Now, add the 2 instant rice packs. Stir-fry over high heat until the rice grains are separate and slightly toasted. It’s important to break up any clumps of rice with your spatula while stir-frying. Fried rice tastes even better when it’s lightly browned and slightly crisped against the pan.
Step 7
Once the rice is well-fried and not clumpy, reduce the heat to low and add the 2 Tbsp of mayonnaise. Stir well to coat the rice grains with mayonnaise, which will add a creamy and savory richness.
Step 8
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the top and give it one last gentle toss to combine. Your delicious Tuna Mayonnaise Fried Rice is complete! For an extra touch, you can serve it with shredded seaweed or a fried egg.
