Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna. Canned tuna in water is the best option for this recipe, as it is lower in sodium and calories than tuna packed in oil. You can also use fresh or frozen tuna, but be sure to cook it thoroughly before adding it to the casserole.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for frozen peas, carrots, and celery, but you can also use other vegetables that you have on hand, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or zucchini.
  • Make sure the sauce is creamy. The sauce for this casserole is made with cream of celery soup, milk, and grated Parmesan cheese. If you want a thicker sauce, you can add more cheese or cornstarch.
  • Don't overcook the casserole. This casserole is best when it is cooked until the vegetables are tender and the sauce is bubbly, but not overcooked. Overcooking can make the casserole dry and tough.
  • Serve the casserole hot. This casserole is best served hot, right out of the oven. You can garnish it with fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Chinese Tuna Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it can be on the table in under an hour. This casserole is also a great way to use up leftover tuna. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Chinese Tuna Casserole a try.
