Fabulous! This recipe is so delicious and perfect. I haven’t been able to eat tuna any other way but this way since I made the first batch!
A batch of this is always made for a quick go to lunch in my fridge. Delicious and easy!
Too heavy on the sesame oil. I used less (3 Tbls) and it was still overpowering. Start with one and add. I liked the concept and the approach.
Loved the taste, however, the consistency left something to be desired! I drained the water-packed tuna, but the dish was still too watery. Perhaps I should have used ‘whole” tuna? I used Bumblebee Chunk Albacore – wrong?
I loved this dish! I actually made it for my coworkers and everyone loved it.
Very good! I will take the advice and add a bit more chili garlic paste next time. Thanks for reminding me how great chili garlic paste is. 🙂
As a vegetarian, I swapped out the tuna for mashed chickpeas (actually I used my hand blender for a rough mash). It was amazing!! I served it in wraps with lettuce and cucumber. 🙂
Very good!
I used this tuna salad recipe for lettuce wraps and they were absolutely delicious!
Tasty way to eat boring canned tuna. Love the Asian flare! Could not find black sesame seeds anywhere though. Still very tasty!!
