A rice thief braised dish that simmers tofu and even the oil from canned tuna until glossy and savory.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The oil in the tuna can contains the tuna's umami, so do not discard it; add it all to the braise for a rich flavor.
  • If you pan-fry the tofu first, it becomes firmer in texture; if you use raw tofu directly, the seasoning soaks in and it becomes moist.
  • Put the leftover braising liquid, tofu, and tuna over rice and mix it up to finish a bowl of rice quickly.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a simple yet excellent side dish with a can of tuna and a block of tofu at home.
  • Those who like mixing rice with a slightly reduced, spicy, sweet and salty sauce.
  • Those looking for a rice thief recipe with short cooking time and simple prep.
