My mom used to make hot potato and tuna salad. It was one of my favorites growing up. It was boiled potatoes, relish, tuna, mayo, salt and pepper, served warm. Really tasty.
Tuna casserole is another tasty option.
If you want to go an Asian route, you can do tuna served on rice with some chili crisp and sliced cucumber.
I used to eat a pasta sauce with canned tuna that also had onion, yoghurt (or cream) and capers. Depending on the amount of effort you want to put in, maybe just adding some capers might work :)
If you just want to make one, milder curry you could do a sambal on the side. It’s not Thai but it’s big in nearby countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore etc.
It’s a bit like a much hotter siracha but there are loads of varieties, some have shaved coconut for a bit of texture and sweetness etc.
Edit: forgot to say, sambals have similar flavours to Thai stuff, so lemongrass, chilli, coconut etc. Thought it would compliment nicely even if not strictly traditional.
I’ve tried Soylent, Huel, and Jimmy Joy. Each has their own advantages and disadvantages. Soylent has a very smooth texture but not too many flavors, Huel and JJ have great flavor variety but a more grainy texture. Huel (and I think JJ now too) have hot meals which are pretty good and a nice change of pace from cold drinks.
I use them partly for convenience and partly because they have a good amount of fiber which I sometimes don’t get enough of. I don’t really have the self discipline or the willingness to eat the same thing 3x/day in order to put exactly X number of calories in me so I can lose weight.
There’s a few main aspects to these things I see: the enjoyment of drinking them, the nutrition value, and convenience. For context I’ve ordered a box of Soylent a few times a year for a few years, and my roommate has been using it (or products like Soylent such as Huel) since 2015~2016.
Flavor/enjoyment: Plain Soylent tastes like liquid cheerios. Any flavors you find taste like liquid cheerios with flavor syrup added. To many that sounds gross, but if that sounds bearable to you then it’s worth a try. I like the flavored ones, mainly the creamy chocolate and mint chocolate, which tastes like melted ice cream.
Nutrition: you probably know but each bottle has a decent amount of calories enriched with 20% of your daily value of vitamins and nutrients, which is neat. I’m not a health professional, but I’m guessing it’s probably healthier than taking vitamins but not as good as getting them from a source that naturally has the nutrients. For me who has maybe one bottle in a day it’s a way to keep a baseline of nutrients that I may not get from my normal diet and that aren’t covered by my vitamin supplements.
Convenience: Having bottles is really nice if you commute. I like that when I’m headed out the door I can grab one to drink for work. I won’t be hungry or spend money on fast food. I will often be hungry by the time I’m home but as a person that tends to overeat I consider that a good thing.
My roommate who does the shake blending himself works remote so he can often find the few minutes to put a bottle together. He’s built up a reserve of ~20 blender bottles but usually needs about a third of them for his daily drinking if we keep up on dishes. He’ll use 2-4 a day for breakfast and lunch before a solid food dinner. We also keep space for 2-3 gallons of milk for how much he makes.
That’s all anecdotal, but I hope it gives you an idea of what daily life with the stuff may look like.
I tried a brand with mild and spicy. I thought the mild was pretty much ketchup. Spicy is really good, although a bit thin - does not stick to fries well. I’ll definitely get it again
