‘Tuna Mayo’ is drained canned Tuna mixed with Japanese Mayonnaise, often with a little bit of Soy Sauce as well. This mixture goes well with Rice, Noodles, Bread, Salads, and many things.

I often cook similar dishes using Gnocchi. ‘Gnocchi & Mushrooms In Butter Soy Sauce’ is my favourite. However, Gnocchi is not so quick & easy to make as Boiled Potatoes are the main ingredient. These Ukrainian Dumplings have harder texture than Gnocchi as they are made without Potato, and Dumplings are much easier and quicker …
