Ingredients

Quantities are shown as originally provided.

1 tablespoon neutral vegetable oil (Sunflower or canola works well)
1 Onion (peeled and minced) (I usually use yellow but substitute with red onions or shallots when necessary)
1 tablespoon sambal
2 cans tuna, drained weight 113g each (0.25 lb)
1¼ C Coconut milk
1 teaspoon Sugar, or to taste
Salt to taste (Substitute: fish sauce)
1 kaffir lime leaf, bruised (Optional but do use it if you have it as it makes the food much more aromatic. )
Optional garnish: spring onions/ green onions or coriander

1
Heat pan and add oil. When the oil is hot, over low heat, add the onions to the pan and saute till soft and translucent but not brown.
2
Add the sambal chilli and stir fry till the aroma is released
3
Add the tuna, followed by the coconut milk and sugar. Note: if adding the kaffir lime leaf, add it now to simmer in the sauce.
4
Saute gently till the entire mixture is well-mixed, warm and at your desired consistency. Note: for a dip, you may want it a little drier. For a curry, you can leave more sauce and asp add other vegetates such as bell peppers or tomatoes.

Salt to taste

Garnish and serve. See post above for serving ideas
