Tuna & Sweetcorn Rice Bowl

This is the meal for when you need something fast, filling, and entirely from the cupboard. Instant rice, tinned tuna, tinned sweetcorn, and a soy-sesame dressing. It taes five minutes and requires no fresh ingredients at all.

Ingredients (Serves 1):

• 1 sachet of instant rice (or 150g cooked rice from a pouch)
• 1 x 145g tin of tuna in spring water, drained
• ½ x 200g tin of sweetcorn, drained
• 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• A sprinkle of sesame seeds (optional)

Method:

1. Cook the instant rice according to packet instructions (usually just add boiling water and wait).
2. Fluff the rice. Top with the tuna and sweetcorn.
3. Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil. Scatter with sesame seeds if you have them.

Why it's gut-friendly: Tuna provides lean protein and omega-3s. Rice is easy to digest. Sweetcorn adds fibre. Sesame oil is anti-inflammatory.
