Canned tuna is more commonly called “sea chicken” on island. This recipe is almost like a smooth tuna pate. It can be used as a dip or spread. It even makes a great snack or light entrée when used as a topping over rice. NOTE: On Okinawa, dill pickles are still limited to very few grocery stores. I found that the juice is a good substitute if a smooth final consistency is desired. Ingredients:
1 (6 1/2 ounce) can tuna (drained) |
1 tablespoon white onion (finely diced) |
1/2 teaspoon garlic paste |
1 teaspoon soy sauce |
2 tablespoons pickle juice |
1 tablespoon dried parsley |
1/4 cup japanese mayonnaise (or regular mayonnaise with 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice added) |
Directions:
1. Mix all the ingredients together until a smooth but firm consistency.
