    Korean Tuna Mayo Deopbap

    Korean Tuna Mayo Deopbap. A delicious Korean rice covered in scrambled egg, sautéed kimchi, tuna, crunchy seaweed, mayo and teriyaki sauce.

    This is a delicious meal idea for lunch or dinner. It comes together very quickly in under 20 minutes if you already have cooked rice.

    The ingredients are simple in this deopbap tuna recipe. They are pantry staples in most Korean or Asian households making this dish an accessible one!

    My Tuna Mayo Deopbap is also called Chamchi Deopbap in Korean.

    Deopbap rice is one of my favourite dishes to make when I have no clue what to eat but I want something quick and easy. Sometimes I'll skip frying the kimchi to save on time. If you're not a fan of eggs, you can omit that as well and the simplicity of the tuna mayo kimchi rice tastes fantastic with the crunchy seaweed and sauce.

    What is Deopbap?

    Deopbap just means "covered rice" in Korean.

    What can I use as the deopbap sauce?

    For this Tuna Deopbap, I'm using Japanese Mayo and Teriyaki Sauce but honestly the world is your oyster when it comes to making Deopbap! You can even use gochujang paste with sesame oil and soy sauce or whatever you may have on hand.

    For this recipe

    You will need the following ingredients:

    1.5 cups cooked Korean rice
    2 eggs, whisked
    ⅓ cup kimchi, chopped into bite size pieces
    1 can tuna, liquids strained
    4 tablespoon Japanese mayo
    2 teaspoon cooking oil
    ½ sheet of roasted seaweed or nori, sliced into bite size pieces
    1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
    Salt and pepper to taste

    How to make Tuna Mayo Deopbap

    In a small bowl, mix together canned tuna with only 2 tbsp. of mayo, reserve the rest for later. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Place cooked rice in a serving bowl.

    Then in a small non stick pan set over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon cooking oil. Pour in whisked eggs. Stir to break up the eggs and cook until soft and scrambled, about 2 minutes. Place cooked eggs over hot rice.

    In the same pan set over medium heat, add remaining cooking oil. Add kimchi and sauté for 2 minutes until juices release. Place cooked kimchi over eggs in rice bowl.

    Lastly place tuna mayo over kimchi. Sprinkle seaweed over top. Drizzle mayo and teriyaki sauce over top. Enjoy!

      I was looking for something to make for dinner tonight with tuna and steamed rice, as my mom and Vietnamese grandma used to make the family some delicious quick meals with tuna and egg, fish sauce and steamed rice, but I wanted to mix it up since I was just cooking for my partner and myself, and I get bored of the meals I cook often. Stumbling across this recipe was a pleasant surprise; not only are the ingredients simple, as anyone can have these ingredients in their pantry and fridge, but it's not complicated to cook, which is always a deterrent for me when it comes to trying new things to add to our staple meals. Most importantly, though, is that this meal is just so freaking delicious, and I was ecstatic that even someone like me could make this dish and feel like someone else cooked it for me. I will be making this recipe often thanks to you, and will definitely be browsing your recipes for more quick inspirational meals like this one to liven up our lunches and dinners! Absolutely loved it!! <3
