Notes

  • Leave the vegetables to sautee enough for them to cook through.
  • You must use rice that has already been boiled. You can use freshly cooked rice, or use leftovers from last night’s dinner.
  • Make sure you drain the tuna thoroughly before use.
  • Store leftover tuna fried rice in a refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat it in a microwave before serving.
