Noodles with tuna have been one of my favorite foods to eat and prepare since college. I can't remember how many tuna cans I have opened and consumed and if I can pile all the cans together, I'm sure that I can build a fairly huge totem pole. I was in the school's swimming varsity team and did martial arts after class so probably you can imagine how hungry I was when I reached home. Often I find myself rushing to raid the refrigerator and being disappointed for finding nothing that is ready to eat. Because of swimming and martial arts, I always have to watch my weight. I always had to watch the calories and the amount of food that I intake. I did try watching the calories but it was really hard for me to control the huge amount of food that I wanted to eat because I felt that I was always hungry back then.
Knowing that fish have lower calories compared to beef, pork, and chicken our coach always encourages us to eat more seafood, vegetables, pastas and noodles than eating meat. I am not much fond of eating seafood but ironically I love eating canned sardines and canned tuna.
I often buy boxes of canned tuna and canned sardines and keep them in stock. I also keep in stock a good amount of pasta, rice, and noodles. Whenever I can't find anything ready to eat in the refrigerator, I combine these stuffs and make myself a healthy meal. I find that sardines go well with rice and tuna goes well with noodles. Compared to sardines, I find tuna and noodles to be more versatile in many ways because I can eat it as-is or can put it in a sandwich or can add it to vegetables and make a good vegetable tuna noodle salad. Tuna noodles also go well with rice, boiled or baked potato, and go well even with bread. Tuna noodles is like my "Army Kitchen Swiss Knife", mix it with anything and it will still taste good.
