My 17 year old son is a powerlifter and plays football and baseball. He also has Type 1 Diabetes. He likes to eat super high protein and lower carb meals, or mostly complex carb meals. 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. These are great easy meals that are full of flavor and super budget friendly.

[@SomeYouTubeGuy]

I can just imagine the amount of food your boy packs away.

[@nanq.5689]

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.

[@letsKWOOWK]

That sounds yummy

I love it with piña (i think its called pineapple, but im too lazy to search it up right now).

[@the1337fleet]

Do you season the tuna itself? Al pastor tacos are my fav!

[@bryandavies213]

i love that idea! i used to make tuna salad using avocado instead of mayonaise etc. it was basically tuna guacamole! so satisfying and really bomb with chips

[@kaanpai4319]

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.

[@alanna7021]

i make tuna onigiri often, its so good! one thing i do to 'upgrade' onigiri is season my rice w soy sauce, rice vinegar, hot sauce, etc. then wrap it in vietnamese rice paper and fry it that way.

[@septicflesh17]

really thinking the sesame oil made them fall apart

[@username00009]

I use salt water to wet my hands before shaping the onigiri. I’ve also followed sushi rice recipes, but there’s something oddly magical about the flavor imparted by the salt water.

[@fairiesdust5711]

Tuna in oil tastes so much better. The tuna fried rice will be a good way to use up leftover rice. Will try it

[@Matt-ri6cv]

For the tuna pasta try frying some onion with olive oil in a pan and add some canned tomatoes like a standard pasta sauce and then add the canned tuna. I make it when I have nothing else in the fridge and it is kinda like a tuna amatriciana

[@erzsebetmoise2169]

You have so many interesting videos that it would take me a lot of time to watch and I have 4 kids to feed meanwhile, but your way of cooking is just... 💕 Thank you, Kevin

[@disneygirl1189]

I made the tuna patties today and they were delicious! I added some leftover quinoa and half a yellow onion, and more beans to accommodate for that. I froze the leftover patties, they'll be really convenient when I don't have the time or energy, but still want to eat a nutritious meal.

[@redfullmoon]

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.

[@User-vz4xm]

And no one ever use that much sesame oil in rice in Korea.

[@MelijahVicente]

Thank you so so much for this!! My mom and I struggle to figure out what’s for dinner or lunch, but you make everything so easy! Your channel constantly saves our lives 😂! Thank you!

[@anita64]

If you have watched enough of his videos you'll know he doesn't measure anything. But just start with small quantities, then taste. You can always add more if necessary but you can't take it out if you've put too much. After a while you get a feeling for it.

[@anita64]

@~}FallAndMaple{~ it's how I cook basically everything. That's how my grandmother taught me to cook 🙂

[@anita64]

@~}FallAndMaple{~ She was a wonderful person. She had a huge vegetables plot in her back garden and grew all kinds of herbs and veggies. She had an apple tree and a pear tree and would make apple pies and apple sauce. My mother couldn't be bothered to teach my sisters and me how to cook but my sisters weren't really interested in learning either. I was so my grandmother took it upon herself to teach me. I have fond memories of all the hours I spent in the kitchen with her. She died when I was 25 (I'm 58 now) but I still miss her 😥

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.

Just tried your fried rice recipe. I added peas in mine and didn’t have fish sauce, so I used ponzu. It was delicious! Thank you so much; I just moved out on my own and have a low budget so this recipe was perfect.

[@lonejensen5798]

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

Tuna blend sandwich is amazing after a hard half days of work, gets me through the rest of work. Very simple too, just tuna, mayo and roasted onions, can also add corn if you want a little kick to it. Simple but always my first pick lunch sandwich.

For lunch, I love taking a can of yellowfin tuna in olive oil, mixing it with chopped onions (or dehydrated ones if I'm feeling lazy) as well as pickled jalepeno peppers and reduced calorie mayo to hold it all together. It fits perfectly in a romaine lettuce leaf or two as a lettuce wrap. Mmmmmm! I Love you Kevin!!!!!

[@ZeeZeeCat]

Years ago as a poor student I came up with sth. similar, just instead of rice I used to add instant chinese soup (simply instead of a soup I made a a juicy noodles by adding less water). I seasoned it with garlic and garlic sauce and it was a perfect, quick , easy and affordable dish :)

Tip for future viewers: Jasmine or preferably short-grained rice like Japanese varieties will work better for both the fried rice and the onigiri. If you’re going to make onigiri, don’t add sesame oil it is counterproductive. What you want is sushi vinegar, cold rice and wet hands (and possibly an onigiri mould). And you don’t need that much sesame oil. But overall the recipes look great.
