1. Prepare Tuna Mixture
In a small bowl, stir together the well-drained tuna, mayonnaise, toasted sesame oil, and soy sauce. This combination ensures that the tuna becomes creamy and flavorful, as the mayonnaise adds richness while the sesame oil and soy sauce infuse the mixture with a deep, savory note.
2. Combine Tuna Mixture with Rice
Take your cooked white rice and place it into a serving bowl. Spoon the tuna mixture evenly over the cooked rice, letting the rich flavors meld together with each bite.
3. Add Optional Toppings
If you like a bit of extra texture and flavor, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds, furikake, or chopped scallions on top. These toppings not only add a bit of crunch but also enhance the overall taste of the dish.
