    🥘 Ingredients

    The ingredients for tuna cream cheese dip.

    You will need a few simple ingredients:

    • 1 block cream cheese: leave this out to soften so it's easier to mix. If you have leftover, you can turn it into salsa cream cheese dip (made from scratch, not a jar of salsa)!
    • 1 can tuna, drained
    • 1 onion: minced. I recommend a red onion for more sweetness.
    • 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice: I tested the recipe with and without the lemon juice. It definitely makes a difference to the flavor, so don't skip it!
    • 1 teaspoon of red chili powder: if you don't like spice, leave this out but it does make the cream cheese dip taste better. I used Korean gochugaru flakes.
    • a pinch of salt
    • 1 green onion: this is to add freshness and color. You can also substitute with chives.

    This dish is so easy to make- you just need to mix everything together!

    🥡 How to Store

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days.

    Hi I'm Zhen also known as GGG! I couldn't boil water till I was 18! However, I love creating community and nurturing people, so when I lived abroad (in St. Andrews then London) for 11 years, I started hosting regular parties for friends, and that's how I started cooking and helping out in professional kitchens. (Couldn't cook before that!) I even organised a supper club for charity (which strangers came to!) Learning to cook late, I make sure my recipes go into enough detail for those new to Asian cuisine or who love a test kitchen approach to cooking!
