Canned Tuna Yum
Yum Canned Tuna is a very easy dish to make at home. It’s ready to eat in minutes. Instead of adding mayo next time you reach for a can of tuna fish, try this recipe instead!
Directions
- Drain the oil or water out of the can, and smash the tuna into medium size chunks (see picture to the right).
- Add lime juice, fish sauce, chilies & shallots. Mix well.
- That’s it! Easy!
Ingredients: What You'll Need
- 1 can canned tuna, in oil or water (in olive oil is tastiest, if available)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 2-20 small thai chilies, chopped (to taste)
- 1/4 cup chopped shallots

This is a quick, great snack, and it’s very healthy! I added a plum tomato also, as we did that at a thai restaurant I used to work at. Tasty!
I tried this today for lunch when i didnt have much on hand. I had tuna in water and i couldn’t stand the raw shallots, so i sautéed the shallot for like 30s in 1.5 teaspoons of olive oil first then poured it in the tuna. I also added chopped mints in the mix. Very good. Thanks for the simple recipe. Love your website in general. I used to live in Thailand for 3 years. Thailand is like my second homeland.
