Ingredients

For the Sauce:
1/4 cup peanut butter (smooth)
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (plus more for garnish)
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon white vinegar
Salt to taste
Black pepper (to taste)
1/4 pound leftover cooked spaghetti (reheated in the microwave with a little water)
For the Spicy Tuna:
1 (5-ounce) can oil-packed tuna, not drained
1 tablespoon hot paprika
2 tablespoons chili paste (such as Sambal Oelek)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Garnish: thinly sliced scallions

Steps:

Gather the ingredients.
Whisk together, in a large bowl, the peanut butter, water, sesame seeds, soy, sesame oil, and vinegar until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the re-heated cooked spaghetti and stir to amply coat the noodles. Set aside.
Place tuna in a small bowl, and break into small pieces using a fork. Add the paprika, chile paste, oil, soy and sesame oil and stir vigorously to make a chunky sauce.
To serve, divide the spaghetti into a bowl and spoon over the spicy tuna. Garnish with scallion and sesame seeds.

PEANUT BUTTER AND TUNA

Peanut Butter and Tuna image

I swear its good. I eat it at least once a week and have to stop myself from eating a second one. They are sooooo good. My kids like it with ritz cracker rather than bread. Amounts are approximate, if you want more or less of anything, do it. I just posted a typical serving size of each item, I never measure.

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

2 slices bread (your favorite type)
2 tablespoons peanut butter (we like creamy)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise or 2 tablespoons Miracle Whip
1 (3 ounce) can tuna

Steps:

Toast bread if desired. I like it lightly toasted.
Meanwhile, mix the tuna and the mayo together to make tuna salad.
Spread half the peanut butter on one side of one slice of bread and top with tuna salad.
Spread one side of the other slice of bread with the remaining peanut butter and place it over the tuna, peanut butter side down.
Cut in half if desired and enjoy.
You can mix things up a little by adding some relish to the tuna or add some crunch with slices of cucumber (cucumber and peanut butter is another favorite sandwich), onion, or diced waterchestnuts.
