How to cook:

1. First you need to boil the rice. It is very convenient to cook cereals packaged in special bags for cooking – in this case, the dishes remain clean and you just have to pour the finished cooked cereal into a bowl. Add the tuna to the bowl of boiled rice and mash well with a fork. After that, mix everything well. You should get a homogeneous rice-fish mass.

If you decide to add greens, then you also need to cut or defrost it if you have a frozen product.
