5 Quick Meals with Canned Tuna

Updated 25 October 2026 · OmniCart Malaysia

A few cans of tuna in the cupboard means you are never more than ten minutes from a real meal. Here are five quick, filling ideas — and a note on picking the right can.

First, pick the right can

Tuna in water is lighter and great for salads; tuna in oil is richer and better for pasta and sandwiches; and ready-flavoured tins (mayo, chilli, black pepper) are a meal on their own. TC Boy Tuna comes in all of these, so you can stock a couple of styles.

Five quick meals

1. Tuna sandwich: drain, mix with a little mayo, onion and pepper, pile on bread.
2. Tuna pasta: toss oil-packed tuna with cooked pasta, garlic and chilli flakes.
3. Tuna fried rice: flake into fried rice with egg and greens.
4. Tuna salad bowl: water-packed tuna over greens, cucumber and a squeeze of lime.
5. Tuna mayo rice: a flavoured can straight over hot rice with seaweed — two minutes.

Keep a small stash

Keep two or three styles in the pantry so you can match the can to the meal. Shelf-stable, so it is always ready.
