Today I made this spicy tuna bowl with miso soup!
I prepped two of these portions at once, (however I was actually surprisingly very full after the miso soup and one half of the portion shown) using two cans of great value tuna.
To the drained tuna cans I added 1 tsp of garlic chilli oil, 3 tbsp of olive oil mayo, a good amount of siracha (freestyle) and then some onion powder and garlic pepper seasonings.
I soft boiled the two eggs and added salt and pepper.
I used frozen pork and cabbage flavored dumplings (forget the brand but I can totally go check the freezer later if anyone is interested). I replaced the egg water and then boiled 4 dumplings.
I then replaced the water and made two servings of great value instant rice, to which I added two servings or 1tbsp of pokekake furikake seasong and 1.5 tsp of ([fake lol] great value) soy sauce.
While the rice was boiling I had chopped up 2/3 of a cucumber.
Finally I replaced my water again and added the boiled water to a bowl containing the contents of the miso packet and topping packet and stirred it into miso soup.
I then plated everything into two tupperwares for easy comparison to simplify halving the portion (I don't mind eating a meal out of a plastic container if it makes things easy anyways).
And there you have it!!!
Is this authentic Japanese cuisine?? No.
Is it delicious and low cal? Yes.
Does this quite qualify as high volume? Debatable.
Was it extremely filling and low calorie? ABSOLUTELY!!
420 cal and 33g of protein for the spicy tuna, rice, egg, and dumplings.
35 cal and 2g of protein for the tofu flavor instant miso soup.
If I make more soup packets I just got 4 meals technically out of this (although I intended on only yeilding two).
I don't have a food scale so that is why I didn't provide gram weights, however I just use math and measuring cups, and I've lost over 30lbs without needing a food scale so I don't believe I'm off. Calories are rounded up to the nearest 5cal and protein is rounded down to the nearest whole gram.
