Tuna Sisig
Tuna Sisig is budget-friendly, very easy to prepare and ready in 30 minutes or less. It is slightly spicy, little tangy, and there’s that umami flavor from the oyster sauce and liquid seasoning.

Ingredients
- 2 cans (180 g each) tuna flakes in oil drained, but reserve the oil for later
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½ tbsp liquid seasoning
- ½ tbsp oyster sauce
- 2-3 calamansi squeezed
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 onion finely chopped

Instructions
-
Mix mayonnaise, liquid seasoning, oyster sauce and calamansi juice in a small bowl. Do a taste test and add salt & pepper if you like. Adjust according to your taste. Cover and keep this in the fridge until ready to use.
-
In a pan over medium-high heat, add the drained tuna. Cook the tuna until dry. You can add the sisig sauce at this point or you can cook the tuna few minutes more to brown it.
-
When you reached the preferred texture of your tuna, transfer to a plate.
-
Using the same pan over medium heat, add some of the reserved oil from the tuna. Add chopped onion and chilis; cook until soft.

Add the sisig sauce and cook for 1 minute. Put back the browned tuna in the pan and mix.
-
Turn off the heat and transfer to a serving plate. Optional: garnish with chopped onion and more chili.

Enjoy with warm rice.
Recipe Notes
- I used Century Tuna. You can use any brand you prefer.
- You can use lemon if calamansi is not available.
