Cooking Tips
🐟 Tuna
- Sear tuna steaks for just 1-2 minutes per side for a perfect rare center.
- Canned tuna in olive oil has better flavor than water-packed.
- Mix canned tuna with avocado instead of mayo for a healthier tuna salad.
Nutrition: High in protein and omega-3s. Canned light tuna is lower in mercury than albacore.
Storage: Use fresh tuna within 1-2 days. Canned tuna lasts 2-5 years.
🫘 Sesame Oil
- Toasted sesame oil is for finishing, not cooking — it burns easily.
- A few drops go a long way — sesame oil is intensely flavored.
- Combine with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ginger for an instant Asian dressing.
Nutrition: Rich in healthy polyunsaturated fats, vitamin E, and antioxidants.
Storage: Store in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate after opening for up to 6 months.
