Ways to spice up a can of tuna? [Question]

(Sorry in advance for the lack of proper tags, I’m not sure how to add them on mobile)

So I tend to eat a can of tuna once or twice a week, usually with just a little salt, pepper and a dab of kewpie mayo and stuffed into onigiri. Are there any spices or sauces I can add to make it more interesting? Or any other easy tuna recipes I can make for one, preferably with rice? I really enjoy spicy foods and fermented/pickled things, but I’m not sure the best ways to combine that with something like tuna.

PlantJam,

Take a look at the flavored pouches of tuna. They’re comparable price to the cans, but they don’t need to be drained.

Grew up in the southern US where we pretty much treated canned tuna as a conduit for mayonnaise & an excuse to eat ritz crackers for dinner.

Given that, I took to just adding diced tomatoes to the mix, which at least gave the meal a hint of nutritional value.

Not sure how well that combo works with onigiri, but thought I’d put it out there.

If you’re already putting it into onigiri, try adding pickled plum or pickled ginger

For something in the other direction, try chopping dates and adding them to your tuna.
