This is another super easy Tuna dish that is delicious, nutritious and inexpensive. Please use Japanese Short Grain Rice. I used to make this Rice Bowl dish using unseasoned Rice, but Sushi Rice definitely tastes better.

Sushi Rice
200g cooked Japanese Short Grain Rice *should be hot

Method

- Drain the Canned Tuna and place in a small bowl. Add Japanese Mayonnaise, Wasabi and Soy Sauce, and mix well. Cut Salad Vegetables into thin strips or pieces in the size that is easy to eat with Rice.
