Tuna Rice Recipe

Rice is something we all treat as comfort food. Taking this into consideration, I thought to share spicy tuna rice dish with you. The combination of rice and tuna makes a perfectly balanced meal. The starch of the rice and protein from the tuna makes it balanced and healthy. This is a low-fat dish, even though it is a type of fried rice.
