6 EASY CANNED TUNA RECIPE DISHES - Tasty Canned Tuna Cooking Hack! (How To Cook 6 Meals!)

[@feedmeimei]

Actually never thought to put tuna in a kimchi fried rice! It looks pretty good, especially with that perfect egg on top!

[@christinedowd1820]

Also good with mozzarella on top

I tried your tuna potato fishcake ☺️ I added some grated carrot, which added a crunchy texture. It turned out really well. Thanks for the great idea 😊🙏🏼

[@JaniceFung]

nice!! im glad you liked it! :) good idea re the grated carrot, i felt mine was missing that crunchy texture

[@bettyand42]

great video! it's the first one of yours that's shown up on my feed and i'll definitely be watching more. i have a couple tuna tips: first, if you hate celery like me, use diced cucumber instead in the tuna salad. equally refreshing and crunchy :) second, my favorite super easy canned tuna recipe is chamchijeon, or korean tuna pancakes. mix a ratio of 1 can drained and flaked tuna, 1 egg, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of flour. very easy to double or more if you need to feed a crowd. add whatever veg you like, i just do diced green onions but you could use regular onions, carrots, etc too. pan fry heaping spoonfuls with a little oil until golden brown and crispy on both sides. that's it! sriracha mayo is the perfect dipping sauce, and if you add rice and sigeumchi namul you have a perfect easy meal.

[@JaniceFung]

Awesome tips! Thanks for sharing Betty!

You are a little gem Janice, thank you for sharing these great quick, easy and healthy meals.

[@stormchylde3999]

I love the way you do the recipes: you show the ingredients, and then while preparing them, you're explaining the amounts, etc but not in real time (in other words, it's sped up a bit). I don't have the patience to watch when people do a cooking video all in real time, it just takes too long and I just don't have the attention span, lol. This way is quicker but also very clear. Great job!

[@JaniceFung]

Thank you so much Rhiannon ☺️

[@andrewcullen8635]

@@JaniceFung When making Tuna/Pasta Salad I tend to add Mayonnaise rather that a Salad Dressing. The Tuna Cakes I would probably Egg Wash and Bread Crumb a couple of times before frying. Tuna Sandwiches I always made/make fresh (Never took them to School, With Diced Cucumber and Mayo. The other way I eat Tuna is cold mixed with Mayo and Mustard on a Baked Potato. As for the Vegan Cheese the packet said Pizza Cheese? When making normal Pizza they use a couple of Cheeses, Mozzarella not for taste but actually because when melted it stretches as you take a slice, So try a Named Cheese substitute like Cheddar or Monterey Jack as these are used for flavour?

[@metawolf987]

After trying both canned tuna in oil and canned tuna in water, I have to say that oil is the superior choice. The reason canned tuna in water stinks more, is because of the metal. The cooked tuna on its own has a mild to moderate odor, but the odor of the metal is actually stronger, and actually gets amplified by getting mixed into the water. The water also enables the fish odor to get absorbed into the metal, so even after you empty the can and wash it with water alone, the combined odor of the fish and metal remains. With oil, the oil absorbs the flavor of whichever fish it is sitting with, but the oil actually does not absorb any of the metal odor. As such, the oil actually serves as a protective coating to prevent the metal odor from seeping into the fish. For people with health concerns and questions about fat content, you will be pleased to know that tuna actually has no fat of its own. None. As a result, the only source of fat in oil-packed tuna, is the oil. The cheapest tuna cans use soybean oil, and you have to pay more for tuna packed in olive oil. But, both soybean and olive oil are primarily unsaturated fats, and both are relatively good for your health. When consumed in moderation of course. To prevent any health risks, I recommend switching from frying/deep frying to sauteeing. For those who do not know, frying is cooking a food while it is fully suberged in an oil, and sauteeing is cooking a food with only a thin layer of oil covering the pan.

I’ve watched a million cooking videos but your recipes really caught my attention. Well done!!!

[@michaelj2528]

The tuna fish cakes you could try dipping them first in flour then beaten egg then breadcrumbs try that to make them more crispy .Some great idears for quick meals or snack . Nice vlog as always stay safe take care

[@JaniceFung]

thanks for the suggestion Michael, will try that next time!

[@veradelacruz3590]

Tuna melt is one of my go to dishes. Mix in a bowl tuna with mayo, season with italian seasoning, black pepper. Assemble sandwich by putting 2 Tbsp of tuna mix on one slice of bread, add slice of pepper jack, sharp cheddar or your fave sliced cheese place other slice on top and prep you pan. Use butter or oil to coat pan and heat on medium high. Place sandwich in pan, cook until toasted and flip carefully to opposite side and toast also. I love mine toasty where it has some crunch. Also don't do "American cheese" slices. A yummy go-to dish that pairs well with chicken noodle soup or tomato soup. Enjoyed this episode of your show and several others! Thank you!

[@marybanitskas3500]

There is a cheese at coles in the deli or special cheeses section called mini chol. It is a soy cheese and it melts really well and tastes really good. It’s from Sweden and costs about $10 for a block that you will need to grate which takes no time at all. Cheers ✌️

[@simonecole6208]

I love all of your tuna recipes. You have a very welcoming voice and attitude. That last one you did, I love the fact that you accept the little flaw with the cheese and ask if anyone knows about it to tell you. You are real. Thank you. There are vegetable cheese you could try in that menu.

[@lynnechamberlain5962]

To get a crunchier coating on your fishcakes you could dip them into 1 flour 2 beaten egg 3 panko breadcrumbs before frying. Also Liddells make a number of lactose free dairy products available in Woolies. Their products are better than the vegan cheeses.

[@fxght]

nice more cooking hacks! 1st hack was good i love the family mart tuna-mayo onigiri lol

[@JaniceFung]

☺️☺️

[@EpicLebaneseNerd]

the way she says ''tuna'' is like music, anw, tuna is the sea gift to mankind, u can basically add anything to it and will taste great, it can spice up the mac and cheese, make an amazing tuna melt sandwich and even an amazing salad, just don't add it to ramen.....just dont.... p.s: it is my life goal to find a bottle of japanese mayo, i just can't find any....i am a mayo man, french being my fave, but i must try japanese mayo, especially this bottle that seems everyone likes.

Can you tell me why that helps? I seen that also and I am very curious why she and you do it.

[@marykirtz5881]

It seems to make the cucumber taste sweeter.

[@Ghoatt]

For the potato/tuna cakes, put some panko on them, that will help with the texture. I don't usually go for canned tuna except for the occasional tuna sandwich, but I did have a tuna sushi roll at Hong Kong Disney that was pretty good.

[@JaniceFung]

yeah panko should do the trick hey!

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

These are gourmet recipes... my Tuna sandwich is with 2 slices bread and some mayo....i add some egg mayo too if I want it fancy

You're so adorable. I didn't know they added soy sauce for the tuna Mayo onigiri. Thanks 👍

[@luannapierce2544]

looking forward to this... loved the spam video. the fish cakes could do with a coat of panko bread crumbs for more crunch... maybe put them on with an additional egg brushed on cakes before the panko added? I am so enjoying the inspiration for cooking from your recipes, Janice! Oh, had another thought - with your vegan cheese you could try broiling it and see if it would melt well that way. Many thanks for the inspiration you bring to mind! Am watching a few more before going to the store this afternoon. I need to pick up some fish sauce and go ge chang ... no idea how to spell that, and if I can find it some kimchee. very happy to watch your videos!!

Daiya shredded cheese is great!!! It melts

[@helenswan705]

It is hard to get melty vegan cheese. Worth exploring some of the vegan food-review sites where they can tell you these things. You can also make a nice crunchy mix of breadcrumbs, ground almond, herbs, seasoning, some vegan cheese *finely* grated, or you can get vagan 'parmesan', some nutritional yeast, a bit of oil. Sprinkle, bake! Not melty, but tasty.

[@rayradiance666]

Gladly subscribed! Love these types of videos

[@jimmyf6145]

Hi Janice, I tried the fish cakes but they won’t stick together in the pan and ended up like pancakes. Perhaps I should have placed them in the fridge for half an hour so that they “settle”. I will add some bread crumbs next time. Nevertheless, they tasted good, thanks !

Yes i was also taught rubbing cucumber ends made it less bitter!😂

[@sandramullikin5088]

If your oven has a broiler button then you can broil the dish for just a a minute or so to melt the cheese on top. Also, in my family we often made tuna fish sandwiches using the drained tuna, tart (dill)-pickle relish (some use sweet and some use the tart but, I prefer the tart), regular Kraft Mayo, chopped up hard boiled egg, yellow onion, celery optional, and sometimes put raisins either in it or on the side, and serve it with lettuce and tomato on raisin bread. I am a celiac so I use gluten-free raisin bread for my sandwiches. They're very good. I've had none-celiacs really like them, as well. The contrast between the tart (dill) pickle relish and the sweet raisins makes it taste really good. Try it sometime. I think you might like it. I have not used any of your asian products before but, if they're gluten free and safe for me I certainly will be trying them now. I love all kinds of food and flavors. Thank you for sharing!. Great job! You have such pretty hair, too.

[@mindaavant6932]

worth a try for sure

[@wiredgorilla]

YUMMMM !

[@monecagainer6202]

To make your tuna fish cakes crispy, use freshly grated potatoes instead of boiled mashed potatoes. Add 2 tbsp potato or corn flour. All the rest is the same.

[@TWEETYDOTPIE]

you can make tuna curry with gravy, you can also cook tuna with brinjal, put some indian masalas like red chilly powder, yellow powder, pepper, salt and lil tomato sauce and cook the tuna along with the brinjal...or and some vege masala... its good...for seasoning you can add the mustard seeds in the beginning to splutter and at the end either coriandor leaf, or curry leaf or the long green spring onions.... secondly you can cook tuna with tapioca once its soft and mix them up and put your selection of masalas.... you can make tuna cutlets similar to your patties....you can also use it as a filling in chappatis or dosas etc or even iddlis and fry them and the list goes endless for tuna receipes

Try covering the tuna dish with foil to get the non dairy cheese to melt. While the brand you have is different than what I get, I live in New York, when I cover the brand I can get, Daiya, covering the dish helps the cheese melt.

I really like your channel your a great cook. This is a recipe for how my Mom made tuna salad sandwiches. Ingredients: 1or 2 cans of tuna drained and flaked. Some Miracle Whip salad dressing. 1 small apple. 2 boiled eggs chopped up. 1sweet onion/purple onion. 1 bell pepper just use very little of it. And salt and pepper to taste. It's really good.

Re: fishcakes. Use a panko breadcrumb in one dish and beaten egg and a little water in another dish. Dip cakes in egg mixture, then in panko. Do this twice for 3x crispy cakes. Then fry. Enjoy!!

My fav is grilled salmon onigiri 🍙 it is more expensive but it’s worth it.

To make the fish cakes more crispy on the outside, after making the patty dip into bowl of pinko breadcrumbs. Also when boiling potatoes you should always put the potatoes in cold salted water to begin the cooking.

For the tuna pancake, try deep frying the potatoes instead of boiling them. Cut them into 1cm thick, fry them, then mash. No need for butter. Add a pinch of nutmeg and you'll end up with Indonesian "perkedel".
