How to Make Tuna Gohan

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onion and sauté for 2 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add the drained tuna and eggs to the pot.
  3. Using chopsticks or a fork, gently whip the tuna, eggs, and onions together until the mixture becomes fluffy and slightly dry. This will take approximately 2-3 minutes.
  4. Stir in the sugar, curry powder, and chili powder (if using).
  5. While the tuna mixture cooks, prepare your side dish. Steam or microwave the frozen green beans according to package directions.
  6. Serve the fluffy tuna mixture over a bowl of warm Japanese rice. Garnish with pickled red ginger.
  7. Serve immediately alongside your cooked green beans.
