Fried rice with tuna
4 servings
30 minutes
Rice fried with tuna is a harmonious blend of Eastern traditions and modern flavors. Chinese cuisine is renowned for its rice cooking techniques, and this recipe combines the tenderness of tuna, crispy bacon, and the freshness of green peas. The fried rice develops an appetizing golden crust while absorbing the aroma of soy sauce and oil. Bacon adds a savory saltiness, while peas contribute a light sweetness and juiciness. The dish is versatile: it works well for a quick dinner or as part of a festive table. It is best enjoyed hot right after cooking, and serving with extra soy sauce allows everyone to adjust the flavor to their liking.
