Back when my husband (from Peshawar, Pakistan) was working overseas in Dubai at one of the big IT companies, he became very close friends with his Vietnamese co-worker who was so incredibly sweet. We both had never eaten Vietnamese food before. I would share my South Asian recipes with his friend and he would share his wife’s amazing recipes with us. This was their version of a Tuna Sandwich.

In a wok on medium heat add a little oil. Toss in some chilli flakes and cook for a few seconds. Add in your favourite tuna and cook for 5 minutes. Now add in 1 large red onion (thinly sliced) and cook for a few minutes until the onions become slightly translucent. For the final touch, add tons of white vinegar, thinly sliced green chillies, hand torn cilantro leaves, salt & black pepper. Cook for 1 more minute and it’s done!

I can eat this tuna on its own with a fork. It tastes that good.

Next assemble on some toasted bread with your favourite condiments.

    I bet it was delicious, I sometimes would make my tuna sandwich similar to that

  2. At first I was like “White vinegar?! Really?!” Then my American brain communicated to my American mouth and we discovered there is no mayo! Hence the Vinegar would work wonderfully! Huzzah! Tasty Things!

  3. Sounds intriguing 🤔
    Are you certain that there’s no added sweet element, like a ts of sugar or a drop of honey?

    That’s probably amazingly flavorful and delicious

    I’m just relieved to learn that’s not peanut butter.
