Essential Ingredients
- 1 can Tuna (drained)
- 1 serving of freshly cooked Rice
- 5 fresh Perilla leaves (Kkaennip)
- 1/2 Onion
- 2 Crab sticks (Kkami)
- A pinch of crunchy Seaweed flakes
Tuna Mayo Sauce & Seasoning
- 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp Oligodang (corn syrup)
- 1 Tbsp Mirin (rice wine)
- 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp Oligodang (corn syrup)
- 1 Tbsp Mirin (rice wine)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the onion. Finely mince half of the 1/2 onion, and thinly slice the other half. The minced onion will add flavor to the tuna mayo sauce, and the sliced onion will be stir-fried for a delightful crunch.
Step 2
Wash the 5 perilla leaves thoroughly, pat them dry, and then thinly slice them into bite-sized pieces. The fragrant aroma of perilla leaves will enhance the overall flavor of the rice bowl.
Step 3
Lightly grease a heated frying pan with oil. Add the sliced onions and stir-fry them until they become translucent. Once softened, add 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp oligodang, and 1 Tbsp mirin. Stir-fry until the sauce is reduced and coats the onions evenly, allowing the flavors to meld. This seasoned onion topping adds a delicious umami depth to the dish.
Step 4
Drain the oil completely from the canned tuna by placing it in a sieve. Removing the oil prevents the tuna from being too greasy and allows you to enjoy its natural, savory taste.
Step 5
In a bowl, combine the drained tuna and the finely minced onion. Add 2 Tbsp of mayonnaise and mix well until everything is evenly coated. Your creamy tuna mayo mixture is now ready! Taste it and feel free to add more mayonnaise if you prefer a richer flavor.
Step 6
Now, place 1 serving of freshly cooked, warm rice into your serving bowl. It’s best to assemble the bowl while the rice is still warm for optimal taste. Artfully arrange the thinly sliced perilla leaves around the edge of the rice.
Step 7
Shred the 2 crab sticks lengthwise according to their natural grain, and place them attractively on top of the rice. The chewy texture of the crab sticks adds an enjoyable element to each bite.
Step 8
Next, evenly spoon the prepared sweet and savory stir-fried onions over the crab sticks. The aroma and flavor of these onions will envelop the entire rice bowl.
Step 9
Finally, generously top with the tuna mayo mixture you prepared earlier. You can add an extra drizzle of mayonnaise if desired. Finish by sprinkling a good amount of crunchy seaweed flakes on top. Your Tuna Mayo Rice Bowl is now complete, boasting both delicious taste and appealing presentation! Enjoy your meal!
