How To Turn $1 Canned Tuna Into a Restaurant Meal (4 Ways)

This video is all about canned tuna. A can of tuna is an excellent source of protein and it can cost you as little as $1/can. These canned tuna dishes are easy and quick to make and they are as good as restaurant meals. All you need is some basic ingredients and some tuna. I made a tuna burger, a spicy tuna fried rice, some tuna pasta, and a (failed) tuna mayo onigiri.
Hope you'll enjoy!

    Street-style tacos using canned tuna is also very simple and easy, and not to mention cheap and healthy. For anyone curious - tortilla, canned tuna, diced onions, fresh prepped or store bought Pico, cilantro, and a wedge’s worth of lime juice. If you want some additional flavor, you can add some paprika or chipotle powder, or some diced fruits like mango.

We tried each one of these and he loves them all. Most of all the pasta. My mom loved the patties. She makes them all the time now.

    Tuna mayo onigiri are pretty easy and yummy. Give them another try. For the filling: tuna, mayo and some soy sauce For the rice you can also use Jasmin rice. I had great success with it. Best when it's freshly cooked and still slightly warm so it's sticky. Add some salt to the rice either when cooking (to the cooking water) or before forming. Remember to wet your hands when forming. For this type of onigiri I would recommend not to fry them.

    With Japanese onigiri, the kind of rice matters a lot, you can't just use any type of rice, and you shouldn't season with sesame oil, that would be better for Korean gimbap. It's actually harder than it seems even if you have all the right ingredients. I still haven't perfected mine after almost 10 years.

    A tuna burger may also have other alternatives, such as a schnitzel or a minced cutlet depending on what your country calls it. If you can add some additives to it, maybe potatoes or rice + some salad, it turns out to be a nice dinner dish. I could possibly eat "Heinz" beans with BBQ sauce with the minced tuna cutlet prepared in this way.

    I like tuna salad. Make a dressing with 2 tbsp sour cream / greek yogurt, 1 tbsp mayo, 1 tsp mustard, salt, pepper and lemon juice as acid. Make a double portion if needed. Mix with finely chopped raw onion (or raw pickled red onion, if you have the homemade kind in the fridge), a lot of finely chopped pointed cabbage , capers, frozen peas and 2 eggs boiled for 7 minutes and diced... and a can of drained tuna of course ;-) This is the base and can be eaten as it is, but... sometimes depending on the season I put in asparagus, broccoli root in fine strips or finely chopped leeks - all gently steamed - or thinly sliced raw ​​apples. It all creates a green, crunchy element which is a good contrast to the creamy tuna. Perfect in a sandwich, either white bread or as an open sandwich on rye bread in my country. Or add chopped bellpeppers, corn, beans, diced tomatoes, sping onion - any solid vegetable that tastes good raw, in fact - and use it as a lunch salad with bread on the side. Ups. Tomatoes and beans are soft, but you get the picture ;-) Keeps for 4 days in the fridge. You don't think cat food at all - and if you don't have tuna, boiled chicken/leftover fried chicken from frost works just as well or even cold diced boiled potatoes but that is a completely different matter. Sorry. Ups. Forgot to say: - Love this video :-D
