"Just because I am a chef doesn't mean I don't rely on fast recipes. Indeed, we all have moments when, pressed for time, we'll use a can of tuna and a tomato for a first course. It's a question of choosing the right recipes for the rest of the menu."
-Jacques Pepin, Chef
Tuna salad is one of those great standbys. You have the ingredients on hand for almost any variety and this Asian version can help you think of that lonely can of tuna in your pantry a little differently.
