So I tend to eat a can of tuna once or twice a week, usually with just a little salt, pepper and a dab of kewpie mayo and stuffed into onigiri. Are there any spices or sauces I can add to make it more interesting? Or any other easy tuna recipes I can make for one, preferably with rice? I really enjoy spicy foods and fermented/pickled things, but I’m not sure the best ways to combine that with something like tuna.

    Chili crisps! I hadn’t thought of that with tuna, I like to add them to my eggs. Do you have a go to brand? I like the laoganma, but I think it would be too chunky for tuna?

      Lao gan ma is my favorite. I like to toast my bread, so the crunchy parts don’t bother me.

      Lee kum kee is also good, or doubanjiang (sometimes spelled tobanjan) is also nice. Doubanjiang might be the generic name for Lee kum kee.

      Or make your own. It’s not hard, easy to make a big batch, but it’s not as good as Lao Gan ma.
