My brother in law in Sydney made this dish for me one time and I really enjoyed it. I have modified it to suit the preferences of the kids and it is a favourite amongst almost all of them. It is a favourite with me because it is so easy and quick to cook!

- Approx 2 cups rice

Love the tuna rice! I have a very similar thing that is my go-to recipe when I have forgotten to defrost meat and it is 5pm. I’m a little lazy though. I have a rice cooker and cook the rice in there in half water, half stock (takes about 20 mins). After about 15 mins, I open the rice cooker and throw in 2 cups of vegetables, then just stir through the tuna at the end. My husband likes it when I stir a bit of cheese through as well. Thanks for more meal ideas.
