- 1 bowl of warm rice
- 1 fresh egg
- 1 can of tuna, drained
- 1/2 large green onion
- 30g carrot
- 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil
Seasoning- 1 Tbsp savory tuna extract (or fish sauce)
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- A pinch of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp savory tuna extract (or fish sauce)
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- A pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the green onion thoroughly, pat it dry, and then thinly slice it. The fragrant aroma of the green onion will add delicious depth to the dish.
Step 2
Peel and wash the carrot. Then, cut it into thin julienne strips. This will add a pleasant texture and vibrant color to your rice bowl.
Step 3
Wash the cabbage leaves under running water and shake off excess moisture. Next, shred the cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Cabbage is rich in dietary fiber, which helps you feel full and is great for your health.
Step 4
Open the canned tuna and drain all the oil thoroughly. Draining the oil will result in a more delicate and clean flavor.
Step 5
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Add the sliced green onion and sauté over low heat until fragrant, creating infused green onion oil. Be careful not to burn it.
Step 6
Once the fragrant aroma of the green onion oil rises, add the julienned carrots and shredded cabbage. Stir-fry quickly over high heat until the cabbage starts to soften slightly. It’s important not to overcook the cabbage at this stage.
Step 7
When the cabbage has softened a bit, add the drained tuna and stir-fry together. Gently mix the tuna to avoid breaking it into small pieces.
Step 8
Now, add the seasoning ingredients: 1 tablespoon of tuna extract, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir-fry well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed among all the ingredients. Taste and add more seasoning if needed, according to your preference.
Step 9
Once the seasonings are well combined with the ingredients, create a small well in the center of the pan. Add a tiny bit more cooking oil into the well, and carefully crack the fresh egg into it.
Step 10
Let the egg cook until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny (sunny-side up). Reduce the heat slightly if needed. Breaking the yolk and mixing it with the rice is incredibly delicious!
Step 11
Transfer the warm rice into a serving bowl. Top generously with the delicious stir-fried cabbage and tuna mixture. Don’t be shy with the topping!
Step 12
Finally, drizzle about 1/2 tablespoon of fragrant sesame oil over the top. Your hearty and healthy Cabbage Tuna Rice Bowl, with its wonderful blend of flavors and aromas, is now complete. Enjoy your meal!
