Tuna Salad

One of the fascinating things of Thailand is Thai food. Not only foreigners but also the locals really love it.

I choose the recipe that it should be easier for you to find ingredients in your living town.

Today, I would like to present "Tuna Salad" as it's also one of my favourite, LoL. ^^ My boyfriend makes this dish so great!

It's very easy to do, let's go!

Ingredients

• Tuna in salt 1 can
• Sliced tomato 1/2
  
• Sliced onion 1/2
• Chopped bird chilli 1/2 tbsp
• Sugar 1/2 tsp
  
• Fish sauce 1/2 tbsp
• Lime juice 1.5 - 2 tbsp

1. To make dressing, combine all ingredients except the tuna together and mix well, set aside

2. Prepare tuna by rinsing out the salt. Put tuna into a hot pan for only few minutes.

3. Take it out and put in a plate. Pour the dressing and mix them softly with tuna

Note: To let the dressing penetrate tuna and taste at the first glimpse, we will put everything in a big bowl (up to your servings) and then stir them together until we see the tuna is soaked with the dressing.

Wow...Yummy!
