Needs a handful of dry-roasted unsalted peanuts and a generous sprinkling of sesame seeds. Also garlic. Can also throw the peanuts in with the rice while it's cooking.
That rice was a soggy mess. John shoulda used short grain rice if he wanted it sticky. NO: one doesnt need a heavy duty pan for boiling rice YES: one must wash and soak long grain rice for at least 30 minutes to maximize light, seperate, fluffy texture. My 2 cents. :)
@@Sandra27HK imao, you might've used pre-cooked stuff? I 've been going by his method and measurements for some 30 odd years, and know it for totally fool-proof! Try it with the basic jasmin thaï and it should turn out fine. Or maybe your stove never goes low enough, and you could need to cook it on medium, with a screen sheet underneath? Or you go by measurements as written on the packet? Your pb is puzzling...
The best recipes are the ones you were short on time and ingredients, and come up with something delicious to eat. That is everyday life and this is an everyday recipe. Perfect for us non chefs. Thank you Chef John!
Growing up, my dad made Mexican rice and he never cleaned the rice and neither do I. When I was in the Army, a Dominican lady taught me how to make Arroz con Pollo and she was adamant that you clean the rice. Recently, a Vietnamese lady taught me to never rinse Jasmine rice, because it washes away the flavor. It amazes me how different everyone is and how they all think their way is the right way. I look forward to making this dish. Thanks for sharing.
Sadly that line of thinking does not seem to fly well with law enforcement. "Officer, I paid for the whole speedometer and I'm gonna USE the whole speedometer!"
I make some variation of this dish almost daily for lunch. Swap out the tuna for leftover meats such as chicken thighs and steak. Even put a fried egg on top and dash in some MSG. Thank you Chef John for a great dish!
Al dente tagliatelle, warm but dry before dressing with lemony, quite acidic vinaigrette, tinned butter beans, tinned tuna, fresh sage finely chopped, Parmesan, generous black pepper. Lightly dressed so not oily, Served room temp. It will get me run off the block by any lurking Italians. All out of the store cupboard. Absolutely delicious.
Wow ure amazing, when I dont feel like cooking, I cook instant Indomie or boiled an egg or even better (lazier) yet I just sprinkle some beef floss over warm rice and eat.
Not only is this a great meal to throw together super easily, but as a prepper, this dish incorporates many of the foods commonly stored away for a rainy day. I haven an a abundance of rice and tuna. I don't go out of my way to store jalapenos but being married to a Latina means we always have cans of chiles and jalapenos. Thanks for the idea, I will remember it just in case the days get rainy.
I made this a few times (i add sesame seeds and or nuts on top like Cashew) and it's such a simple yet tasteful dish which is very healthy and very wholesome! Great idea, thanks x
@@@Passionforfoodrecipes yes sir they do, i'm irish & we are kinda known for our limiricks & puns, are you by chance irish ? Just curious friend, p.s., i am also teaching my 2 grand daughters to cook, ages 6 & 3, i screen everything before i allow them to view, & i appreciate the fact that you keep the puns family friendly, God Bless pal.
This was so yummy, I added also a bit of mayonnaise and used sushi rice. Also I didn't have spring onion and used celery instead which worked fine too. Tasted best after it rested for 24 hours and then got rolled into a nori leaf. Yummy. Thanks for the idea!
Healthy stuff I did the same with topping it with some grilled vegetables and roots Sweet potato’s , broccoli, great beans , and carrots. Was wonderful and my guests were pleased thinking I have must spend hours in the kitchen to prepare them this meal but in the honest truth it took me only 45 mins to prep and put everything on the table with some wine and cold beer ;)
from someone who knows about rice fields, rinse your rice to wash off the dust like actual dirt dust, and soak for a few moments so the dead stuff floats to the top like that black thing
Most rice in Canada and the U.S.A. is partially cooked and dusted with Vitamin D. I always wash my rice, besides dirt it gets rid of the excess starch that makes it gummy.
@@terriatca1 It's the parcooked stuff that's partially cooked. But people from rice eating cultures - the ones who buy it 50lbs at a time - do not buy it that way. Even regular grocery stores have uncooked rice.
@@recoil53 I buy my rice in ethnic stores so I understand what you are saying. I don't like most grocery store ones, as I prefer sticky, cargo and black rice. You always wash them.
A man who was starving Went for a fish In the dead of a winter night. Though his chances were slim, his attitude rocked, And he trusted his gut was right. He sat on the lake For hours and hours, But nothing pulled on his pole. So he called it a day, Pulled the line from his ice hole- And made him a canned tuna rice bowl.
That's a great idea, Chef John! I can see adding sesame seeds or even better fukikake rice seasoning to the top before serving, too. I'd wash the rice to get the starch off so it's not as mushy. Maybe use some mayo in the dressing to give it a bit more richness and like someone mentioned tossing a fried egg on top....mmmm!
Made it in Mexico; used a red Poblano instead of bell pepper (IMHO tastes better), two red jalapeños, I had cider vinegar on hand, and we don't have lemons (except our cars - HAHA!!! real Mexicans would laugh at this, US Mexicans, that's a joke - we still tell them sur del Río Bravo, eh? Los quiro mucho), so I "ab"used a lime instead. I used Dolores in oil (3 tins), and Basmati rice (what I had in the pantry though could have gone to H.E.B., but nah ...) ... so this "first Friday of Lent, I'll tell you how it went"! :D Thanks Chef John! You have LOTS and LOTS of fans in Mexico in case you didn't know ...
I had all the ingredients in stock (short grain brown rice was cooked and ready to go in my fridge so I subbed that). I served it over a bed of greens with cucumber, avocado, and furikake on the top and it was a delicious healthy meal! Thanks for the inspiration!
There's probably at least one other comment about this, but it seems to me that most everyone is ignoring the absolute BARS at the end "whether you serve it in a bowl or on a plate, or shape it into little balls which is also great" FIRE.
Put up more like this, they are more to the way someone would actually cook, even though I have tried others, specially the desserts, and they are awesome
My favorite quick and easy meal. It's bloody amazing! I have made a couple a very small variations for my taste (I am the Heidi Fleiss of my Spicy Tuna Rice) but basically I stick to Chef John's recipe. Thanks Chef John!
I made this last night. I didn't have oil packed tuna so I added a little olive oil to the drained water packed tuna. I also used a 12 oz can of tuna, so more than called for. I cut my diced jalapeno peppers as shown in Chaplins Classics videos, seeds and all. Cooking the rice as described here left it perfectly done. It all mixed well and I like it. Really, it is nowhere near as spicy as you might think.
Ah, 4KIDS. I'm having trouble finding pictures of onigiri rolled in sesame seeds. A Chinese dessert keeps coming up for "rice ball rolled in sesame seeds". :/
I pretty much make this all the time! Rice is my comfort food and tuna is such good protein! Sometimes I use shredded chicken but it always comes out lovely. If you keep it sticky you can even wrap it in nori and make pseudo sushi bites!
The rhyme at the end was unique as was waiting until the end for the 'You are after all...' If there was ever a video with that signature touch, we'd know it was an imposter Chef John.. 🤭👏🏼😫
Rice usually has rice mites and other really tiny insects feeding on the rice particles. I think it’s in the best interest of everyone to rinse the rice at least once, super quickly. Otherwise, I guess extra protein!
www.fda.gov/food/ingredients-additives-gras-packaging-guidance-documents-regulatory-information/food-defect-levels-handbook You might not want to actually read that FDA page, but I can promise you, tiny things in rice is one of the less gross things we eat with our food.

Yes. You definitely should. Not only does it do what you just said, but it also helps give you very fluffy rice. Trust me, I eat rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sometimes a small serving for a snack, maybe a midnight snack too.
Japanese rice balls are called 'onigiri' or 'omusubi' (or just 'musubi). In Hawaii, it's usually referred to as 'musubi,' the most popular version being plain rice with a slice of Spam, then wrapped with nori (dried seaweed).
Exactly what I was thinking! @Christine King That also sounds like a good option, thanks! Canned smoked trout and even pink salmon would work, I bet, though the salmon might be a little strong.
That white stuff on rice that people rinse off isn't just starch, it's talc. That's why it's rinsed off. But if you like what is used in baby powder, enjoy.
Just made this as instructed.. doesn't make my top 10 Chef John recipes (ohhhhh yes. I have made many) but it's good in a pinch. I added some toasted sesame seeds on top - delicious.
Hey Chef John, I want to say that I've joined to become one of your newest members. Therefore, what should I expect as a member of this new community. Keep the work and videos up as they're both very entertaining and quite educational. So keep on going round the outside, round the outside, round the outside and the fork don't lie.
I had a packet of spicy tuna that had been lingering in the pantry, and since I’m social distancing at the moment, I’m trying to get creative with my pantry and fridge supplies. I didn’t have bell pepper or green onions, so I subbed in a small diced carrot and added a little onion powder to the marinade. I also used some leftover brown rice. I almost didn’t add the jalapeño because I was worried it would be too spicy for me, but it was pleasantly spicy even with some sambal oelek on top. It had a nice heat, but it was never overwhelming. I will definitely make this again and try the recipe more “out of the box.” It was comforting, tasty, and filling.
I'm making this with wheat berries tomorrow, since I just cooked a whole pound of them tonight and I have 12 cans of tuna in the cupboard. Perfect timing, thanks!
Onigiri, Chef John. Those yummy lil' Japanese snacky-treats made of pressed and formed sticky-rice you can get at pretty much any Tokyo 7-11 are called "Onigiri." This wizard spent some years in Japan getting an appreciation for the food and the culture.
suggestion if you soak brown rice or green lentils over night and then drain and add to the rice before you cook it then you have a much more nutty and earth nutritious meal to eat. brown rice and green lentils are much more nutritious than white rice. just a thought.
Thanks Chef John - I need a good recipe for when I'm working late and want a good meal when I get home. I can double the ingredients and pack lunch for the next day.
I've made something similar. Made a garlic oil, heated some shrimp and peas in it, mixed with rice and seasoned with black pepper and soy sauce. Also, the name for the Japanese riceballs is onigiri.
Check out the recipe: www.allrecipes.com/recipe/278876/spicy-tuna-rice-bowl/

I think cheap basic rice should be cleaned as it’s covered in all sorts, as well as pesticides ect
I laughed so hard at you saying, "but since I'm moving a camera around I thought it would be great idea have tuna and olive oil all over my fingers"
I run an American Cafe in Japan. I'm going to try this and see how the locals like this dish, served cold.
why would you serve it cold?

Rice usually has rice mites and other really tiny insects feeding on the rice particles. I think it’s in the best interest of everyone to rinse the rice at least once, super quickly. Otherwise, I guess extra protein!
www.fda.gov/food/ingredients-additives-gras-packaging-guidance-documents-regulatory-information/food-defect-levels-handbook
You might not want to actually read that FDA page, but I can promise you, tiny things in rice is one of the less gross things we eat with our food.
More worrisome is the animal piss, poop, and roach body parts.
On the one hand that might be some good info on rice hygiene, but I also heard that there are usually mites in cheese, that enhance the flavour!
Yes. You definitely should. Not only does it do what you just said, but it also helps give you very fluffy rice. Trust me, I eat rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sometimes a small serving for a snack, maybe a midnight snack too.
I think you should get into meals people can make with food they've stocked up for a pandemic.
