Categories     Sandwiches

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 can(s) tuna in water drained
1 celery stick diced
1/4 onion diced
3 Tbsp sweet pickled relish
2 Tbsp fat free mayo
CHIPOTLE MAYO
1 c fat free mayo
1 lime juiced
2 chipotle peppers in a can
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp olive oil
TOPPINGS
1 pineapple peeled and sliced
lettuce any kind you like or can find.
bread toasted

Steps:

  • 1. Drain your tuna pretty well. Add mayo and mix. Add chopped onions, relish and celery. Peel your pineapple (it has to be fresh. You can use can but it just wont taste the same). Cut the pineapple into rings and take the core out.
  • 2. In a blender add mayo, lemon juice, chipotle peppers, salt and olive oil blend until well combined. Start toasting your bread (you can use any bread you like).
  • 3. To assemble sandwiches all you do is slather bread with the spicy mayo onto both pieces. Add as much tuna as you like. I like to make mine fat. Add a ring of pineapple on top with some lettuce and top with the other piece of bread. Cut the sandwich in half or quarters what ever you like. These are great party foods or finger foods.

SPICY TUNA SALAD SUSHI ROLL



Spicy Tuna Salad Sushi Roll image

This recipe tastes very similar to the spicy tuna rolls found in Japanese restaurants, but the best part is that you use canned tuna rather than raw tuna. Don't get me wrong, I love raw tuna; I just don't feel comfortable playing with it at home. I created this recipe when I wanted sushi rolls but didn't have a lot of fresh ingredients on hand. This can also be adapted to use in an asian salad. I plan on putting up that recipe at a later time. Note: the sumeshi (the term for cooking rice in the japanese style) portion of the recipe is copied from Sushiday.com.

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups uncooked short-grain rice
1 1/2 cups water
6 tablespoons rice vinegar
5 tablespoons sugar
2 (6 ounce) cans tuna (albacore or regular)
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chili paste
2 teaspoons chili oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder (if using fresh ginger use 1/4 tsp)
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
4 green onions, chopped
8 -10 lettuce leaves

Steps:

  • Sumeshi: Rinse the rice thoroughly to drain some of the gluten from the rice.
  • Cook the rice, using equal parts rice and water. I use a rice cooker, but you can also cook it on the stove if you don't have a rice cooker.
  • Put the rice vinegar and sugar in a small pot over medium heat.
  • Stir until the sugar has melted into the rice vinegar.
  • Once the rice is finished cooking, take the rice out of the pot and put it in the hangiri (japanese wooden bowl), or a large bowl if you don't have a hangiri.
  • Cool the rice and rice vinegar mix, then slowly pour the rice vinegar mix over the rice, using a cutting motion to mix it into the rice with the rice paddle (or wooden spoon). Keep a little leftover to use in the sushi preparation.
  • To Prepare the sushi: Drain your tuna and mix all of the tuna salad ingredients together.
  • Now take one piece of nori and place it on your sushi roller (recommended for getting tight rolls but in a fix you could use a stiff towel). Wet your fingers with the cooled rice vinegar mixture and press a fairly thin sheet of rice onto the bottom 3/4 of the sheet, leaving room at the top of your roll to seal it.
  • Using a spoon, place a generous line of tuna a little lower than the half way point on your rice square. Then add a line of your lettuce leaves on top of the tuna.
  • Begin rolling from the bottom, tucking firmly with each roll to tighten it. Be careful not to smoosh it though, it's a delicate balance but you'll get the hang of it after awhile.
  • Once you've gotten to the blank top of your roll take a little of the rice vinegar mixture and apply it to the inside, roll it up and use a little more on the closed roll if it's not fully sealed.
  • Using a sharp, wet knife cut into bite sized pieces. You can serve this with the traditional wasabi-soy sauce mixture but it's so flavorful it's not necessary.

SPICY ASIAN TUNA SALAD



Spicy Asian Tuna Salad image

Do yourself a favor and try this fabulous variation on traditional tuna salad. It's good for everyday use on top of a salad with an asian vinagrette and can also be served with crackers at a dinner party. If you like a little crunch in your tuna salad feel free to substitute red onion for the green onion or add some chopped up celery. I created this recipe on a whim for use in my sushi rolls and have it posted under "Spicy Tuna Salad Sushi Roll" with a lot of detailed instructions on how to prepare the rolls.

Time 2m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (6 ounce) cans albacore tuna
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chili paste (sriracha is the same thing)
2 teaspoons chili oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder (if using fresh ginger use 1/4 tsp)
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
4 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Drain your tuna well and mix all of the tuna salad ingredients together. Everyone's different in how spicy they like their food, so you may want to taste it and add a little more spice to make it to your liking. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Serve with crackers for a delicious appetizer or on a tuna salad; you may even want to try it as a twist on the regular tuna salad sandwich. Enjoy!
