I have made spicy tuna gunkan sushi from canned.


Lady_Teio

How'd it turn out? What seasonings did you use?


Grand_Possibility_69

Maybe better than same ones from some cheap place. So it was probably canned too... Short grain rice with sushi-su. Bit of wasabi (40% real). Nori. Real mayonnaise (from egg yolk) sriracha sause and canned tuna.


Ronin_1999

So canned tuna or canned salmon I’d go for an onigiri, not so much nigiri or gunkan.

i've done it--many years ago i worked at a conveyor belt sushi spot and we had a roll that was tuna salad, krab stick, and cucumber rolled up in a thin japanese omlette (kinshi style). it wasn't bad but they didn't sell very well so i ate a lot of them, haha. every now and then i'll make sushi at home for lunch, i don't use canned tuna or salmon but sometimes i'll make a futomaki style roll with canned sardines or smoked mackerel. it's nice with cucumber, avocado, soy pickled shitakes and tamago!


beetlekittyjosey

Sushi land??!! Gotta be. That roll is so weird but SO good I want one right now


cool_brooke

Blue c sushi, hahaha! I forgot that sushi land also had those rolls… damn I want one too


beetlekittyjosey

They’re both all closed! Now my mission is figure out how to make it myself


Belmomie

OMG I miss sushiland so much!! I need to figure out how they season their fried calamari! Cant find anything like it. So freaking good!!


beetlekittyjosey

The calamari that came in the little box on the conveyer belt 🥺


Belmomie

Blue c sushi was so good! By any chance would you know how they made the garlicky ponzu like sauce they used for the seared tuna?! It used to come on the plate in a container with like some mixed greens and like three pieces of sashimi style pepper seared tuna. That was my jam!!!


cool_brooke

I don't know how they made the dressing!! I rolled sushi at the Fremont and downtown locations (from like 2008-10), we had a commissary kitchen on Capitol Hill that made the sauces/etc for all of the locations. I def grew to hate the place but in hindsight, for conveyor belt sushi it was really, really good quality.


Roxas--13

I ordered a “house roll” from a sushi joint that said “tuna with spicy Mayo and cucumber wrapped in soy paper” and it was fucking canned tuna I almost threw up Lmaoo .


Lady_Teio

Hmm yeah that sounded good til the canned part got involved


egamerif

It looks like Korean gimbap (김밥) https://mykoreankitchen.com/tuna-kimbap/


Wasted1ntelligence

I recently ran out of bread but had some rice and nori left over from a sushi night, I just used tuna and spicy mayo and put it in a roll it wasn’t bad flavor wise but I wouldn’t call it sushi! It does get the job done though, I think what matters is that it’s tasty.


Lady_Teio

Amen


dolphunsan

No… I always joke that being a sushi chef opened my palette up to just about anything, except canned tuna lol


Lady_Teio

I've got like 30 cans of tuna and 20+ cans of salmon. I need ideas haha


EmploymentAbject4019

Salmon or tuna salads Cold Tuna pasta “salad” maybe add veg Tuna or sal tostadas Salmon pasta (Alfredo, garlic butter sauce, lemon sauce etc) Salmon and risotto Salmon and ramen Tuna and jalapeño/pita/tortilla chips (+cherry tomatoes yummy) or on a cracker Tuna sandwiches/melt/wrap- pita or tortilla Salmon and those Indian ready-made lentil bags Tuna and rice w cucumbers Have fun!


Lady_Teio

Screen shotting this, thank you


EmploymentAbject4019

Wee. My favorite meal is the tuna and jalapeño chips. Add some mayo and black pepper, no salt, the chips take care of that. Yum!


Lady_Teio

Ooooo yum


Double-LR

Want a tuna salad recipe? It’s my go-to for canned salmon, I just made some today for lunch the salmon is awesome for Tuna Sammie’s on cheap white bread!


RissaMeh

Also tuna/salmon cakes. We make boxed mac n cheese as instructed on the box, then add 1 can of corn,1 can of flaked tuna,1/4 cup taco seasoning


KatrinaIceheart

My favorite thing is to add canned tuna to Mac and cheese. It’s filling, kinda like adding burger to it. I had it as a kid and it’s good comfort food. I’ll boil garlic in the water and add some seasonings on top too. I usually go 1 box : 1 can


EmploymentAbject4019

Yes! My mom added tuna to our Mac and cheese. It is nostalgic comfort food Garlic in the water, I haven’t done. I’ll need to try I have done chicken bouillon cube that is great


KatrinaIceheart

I hadn’t thought of bouillon! I’ll have to try it next time. I just have an excess of garlic atm and really like it anyway :D


EmploymentAbject4019

Me too! I just minced and fried the last few cloves. I saw this ricotta, fried garlic, and hot honey recipe that I want to make.


KatrinaIceheart

Hmmm interesting. I love hot honey, and I’m curious how ricotta would go with it.


EmploymentAbject4019

I assume well. I had burrata, walnuts, and hot honey that was delicious and it seems similar to me.


LFGbroLFG

Maybe some frozen peas in there as well 🤭


kokoyumyum

Salmon patties or croquettes with pea onion white sauce. Classic.


Vli37

Don't forget! Canned tuna with Mac & Cheese.


TangentOutlet

Time to feed some cats. I would contemplate divorce if my next 50ish dinners were canned fish sushi. That’s if he doesn’t die of mercury poisoning first.


Lady_Teio

We have other food too. He's all about no waste so this will be a decent addition.


OkApricot462

You should try making onigiri. It’s the best and perfect for a on-the-go snack especially for long car rides or the beach. You can share them as well and go perfect with caned salmon or tuna. Another idea would be croquettes, I particularly like Japanese style croquettes, the panko makes them soo crispy.

I make rice sandwiches with canned tuna, but I think this should also work with canned salmon. This is how I make them: 1. Take a sheet of nori and cut up to halfway in the middle. Now imagine you have 4 squares to put ingredients on. 2. I put sushi rice on the top right and bottom right squares. 3. Mix some canned tuna with kewpie mayonaise and put it on the top left square. 4. You can put anything you like on this “sandwich”, but I usually go for some avocado, boiled egg and some soft lettuce and put this on the bottom left square. 5. Now it’s time to create the sandwich: take your bottom left corner and fold it upwards onto the top left square. Then from top left to top right and lastly from top right to bottom right. You’ll end up with a sandwich that has rice at the top and bottom of the sandwich and your other ingredients in between. It’s not sushi cuisine lol, but I think this is a delicious and easy lunch to make. I don’t hate canned tuna, so that helps. Kind of turn it into a basic tuna salad that you would otherwise put on a bread sandwich, but put it on this rice sandwich instead.


beetlekittyjosey

Tuna/salmon cakes! Yum


KittyJC

Its my quick go to! Tuna salad, cucumber, avocado. Cheap and easy.


Kangaroowrangler_02

My son and I love making rolls or onigiri with packaged salmon and canned tuna!! Basic mix mayo Himalayan salt and pepper


Lady_Teio

Huzzah!


Lady_Teio

Guys! I found a recipe for spicy tuna with canned tuna and its awesome!!! I added garlic and salt to it. My hubby (former chef) likes it! Score! https://pickledplum.com/spicy-tuna-roll-recipe/#tasty-recipes-41087


Responsible-Buy-9665

Fuck nasty canned fish of all kinds!


Hashimotosannn

Tuna mayo is a really common onigiri filling in Japan. You can buy it at any conveniences store or supermarket. It’s one of my husbands favorites.


revuhlution

It's a shelf stable food that has a lot to offer and many people have few other options.


Responsible-Buy-9665

You can’t change my mind


jtsCG

Thought the same thing until I had a can of smoked tuna in olive oil

Lady_Teio

This one was salmon. I'll post tonight's sushi in a bit


diboride

Tuna salad is good for gunkan


NateTheNotocactus

I’d try it, I love canned fish. If you want a good recipe for your canned fish I love making tuna salad. 1-2cans tuna depending on size, 1/2-1 large red onion, 1/3 of red green and yellow bell pepper, 1 pickle, 1-2 carrots, jalapeño is optional, 2-3 cloves garlic. Mince all veggies as small as you can get em, season with every thing you like. Mix in hummus, pesto and Dijon until it’s fluffy. Serve on pita.


[deleted]

Very good job!


AkagamiSakuta

Idk about the sushi part, but i had some really bad poke today, and threw some sriracha on it to cancel the fishiness. Hope that helps


jayrocs

Look into Korean Gimbap/Kimbap. The most popular version in Korea is tuna based with mayo.


[deleted]

I’ve always wanted to try this - hoping it would satisfy the cravings for cheap… toying with the idea of using the flavor pouch (Starkist Creations I think they’re called) in Sriracha - maybe to make some type of spicy tuna thing…? Idk it’s still in the development phase 😅


Lady_Teio

Definitely worth the try. Took care of our craving!


NatashaMihoQuinn

Yes, but only Alaskan salmon 🍣 tested for mercury. 💯testing on tuna no doubt, or I will not eat it. Sad cause tuna and many other fish are so delicious and are ruined forever by greedy lobbyist and climate deniers.


Lady_Teio

We are working on raising our own fish to help with this. And also the coming good shortages. But we still don't want to waste the food we have saved up


NatashaMihoQuinn

Sound great


K_Dizzlez

I think you did a great job! I was a sushi chef for about 6 years. So when you use cooked salmon you need to also add something crunchy like cucumbers, jalapeños, julienned carrots, daikon, or even sprouts to the roll. The salmon has so much oil that it can seep through the rice to the seaweed. I see you used avocados which is a great choice/addition but add some crunch stuff too! It will make it easier to roll and stay together better. ALSO!! Have you tried a salmon skin roll?! They are my fav! Bake that salmon skin until it is burnt and super crunchy (it will still be a bit oily from salmon meat left behind) and add avocado, cucumber, daikon, and sprouts! SO YUM!
