Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 1/2 cups short grain sushi rice (300 grams)
1 3/4 cups water (420 milliliters)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar (60 milliliters)
2 teaspoons sugar
500 grams sushi-grade tuna (about 18 ounces)
1 tablespoon sriracha
2 teaspoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 to 2 teaspoons prepared wasabi
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon finely minced ginger
1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced or peeled
1 to 2 carrots, thinly sliced or peeled
1 1/2 cups shelled edamame
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons black and white sesame seeds, toasted
Pickled ginger
Soy sauce

Steps:

  • For the rice: Place the rice in a strainer and rinse under cold running water for about a minute, or until the water runs clear. Transfer the rice to a bowl and cover with cold water. If you have time, allow it to soak for 30 minutes. Soaking the rice ensures an even cook. If you do not have time to soak, the rice will still turn out, it will just be a little extra sticky.
  • Drain the rice and transfer to a medium saucepan. Cover with the 1 3/4 cups water and stir in the salt. Bring the rice to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the rice wine vinegar and sugar and set aside.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and allow it to sit, covered, for 5 minutes before stirring in the vinegar mixture until fully absorbed. Divide the rice into 4 bowls and set aside to cool slightly while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
  • For the tuna: Dice the tuna into 1-centimeter (1/2-inch) cubes and add to a bowl along with the sriracha, mayonnaise and sesame oil; toss to combine. Place the tuna in the fridge to stay cold until you are ready to assemble the bowls.
  • For the toppings: Mix the mayonnaise, wasabi, vinegar and ginger together in a small bowl and set aside. Arrange the sliced cucumber, carrots and edamame on the rice. Top with the tuna and scatter with the green onions, sesame seeds, wasabi mayo and pickled ginger. Serve with soy on the side.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cups frozen cooked brown rice (about 24 ounces)
1/4 head red cabbage, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
2 small carrots, trimmed and peeled into paper-thin ribbons
2 large limes, halved, 1 half cut into wedges for serving
3/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 teaspoons chili paste, such as sambal oelek
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
Two 5-ounce cans albacore tuna packed in water, drained
1 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Toasted sesame seeds, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Toss the sweet potatoes, 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon of the ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of the turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper on the prepared baking sheet until evenly coated. Roast until tender and lightly browned, tossing halfway through, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the frozen brown rice according to package directions; keep warm. Toss the sliced cabbage, carrot ribbons, the juice from 1 lime half, a pinch of salt and a couple grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until well dressed and combined.
  • Squeeze the juice from the remaining 2 lime halves into a small bowl. Stir in the yogurt, fish sauce, chili paste, honey, the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1/4 teaspoon ginger and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, a pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the warm rice among 4 shallow bowls (about 3/4 cup per bowl). Top with the roasted sweet potatoes, cabbage-carrot slaw, tuna (about 1/4 cup per bowl), edamame and sliced scallions. Drizzle with the spicy yogurt dressing, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve with the reserved lime wedges for squeezing.

Categories     Bumble Bee Seafoods

Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

⅓ cup gyoza dipping sauce
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon sesame oil
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 (5 ounce) cans Bumble Bee® Solid White Albacore Tuna in Water, drained
⅓ cup finely diced fresh mango
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
2 tablespoons minced green bell pepper
½ tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Combine gyoza dipping sauce, sugar, garlic, toasted sesame oil and red pepper flakes in a small sauce pan. Cook over medium heat until reduced by half. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place defrosted puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured work surface. Dust the top of the puff pastry sheet with flour, and roll out slightly to form an 11 x 13-inch rectangle. Cut the pastry sheet into 24 equal size rectangles by cutting the 11-inch dimension into 4 equal strips, and then cutting the 13-inch dimension into 6 equal strips.
  • Lay each rectangle over the hole of a mini muffin tin, and push the middle of the dough down into the muffin tin, to form a cup. (There will be some excess dough that sits on top of the muffin tin, and depending on the size of your mini muffin pan, you may need to bake these in batches, skipping every-other hole of the muffin tin, so that the excess dough does not touch.)
  • Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and punch down the puffed up middle portion of the pastry cups with a fork. Return to the oven and bake an additional 3 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and punch down the centers again with a fork, forming a nice hole for the filling. Let cool completely before removing from the muffin tin.
  • In a medium bowl, lightly toss the tuna, mango, and sweet bell pepper until evenly combined. Using a small spoon, fill each puff pastry cup with the tuna filling. Drizzle the reserved sauce over the tuna filling and garnish with the chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

HABANERO HONEY SWEET CORN CAKE



Habanero Honey Sweet Corn Cake image

This habanero honey sweet corn cake is spicy, sweet, savory, dense, moist, and very addictive! I also had no idea what to call this, as it's not really a cake, but it's also not a pie, or a pudding, or a custard, so I ended up with "cake" since it's inspired by sweet Mexican corn cake. No matter what you call this, it's phenomenal! Garnish with fresh fruit and top with crème fraiche, sour cream, Mexican crema, or whipped cream and freshly grated lime zest.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Tuna: Choose high-quality tuna packed in water or olive oil. Avoid tuna packed in oil as it can be high in calories and unhealthy fats.
  • Add a Variety of Vegetables: Experiment with different vegetables to add color, texture, and nutrients to your tuna cups. Some great options include bell peppers, carrots, celery, cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or chives can add a burst of flavor to your tuna cups. They also provide essential vitamins and minerals.
  • Don't Overmix: Be gentle when mixing the tuna salad ingredients. Overmixing can result in a mushy texture.
  • Chill Before Serving: Allow the tuna cups to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the cups to firm up.

Conclusion:

Sweet and spicy tuna cups are a delicious and versatile snack or meal option. They are easy to prepare and can be customized to your liking. With a variety of vegetables, herbs, and spices to choose from, you can create tuna cups that are both flavorful and nutritious.
