Tuna Sisig
Tuna Sisig is a tasty dish that combines canned tuna with delicious spices and seasonings. This is a great variation of the usual pork sisig, which is a good choice for people who enjoy seafood or want a healthier option. The good thing is it’s very easy to make, so it’s a great recipe for busy days when you want a tasty and satisfying meal.
Using canned tuna for this recipe is a great idea because it saves time without compromising on taste. The canned tuna flakes are already cooked and packed in a convenient way, ready to be made into a delicious meal. So, let’s get cooking and munching!
Ingredient Notes
- 2 cans of tuna flakes: For this recipe, I used tuna flakes in oil, but you may choose tuna flakes or tuna chunks in water for a healthier option.
- Green chili: If you enjoy spicy flavors, you can add some slices of green chili to your sisig. Adjust the quantity according to your spice tolerance.
- Mayonnaise: Make sure to use good quality real mayonnaise! This makes your sisig taste creamy and helps balance the spiciness from the green chilies, resulting in a perfectly balanced flavor.
Cooking Tips
– To enhance the texture and flavor of your Tuna Sisig, consider using tuna chunks instead of tuna flakes.
– For a healthier twist, you can use light or reduced-fat mayonnaise.
How to Store and Serve
Tuna Sisig is best enjoyed fresh and hot off the pan. However, if you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 2-3 days for the best flavor and texture. To reheat, simply warm it up in a pan or microwave until heated through. Just remember to give it a good stir to distribute the flavors evenly before serving.
