Note
The original recipe mentions "Mayonnaise Giuliano Gasali of the Grand Formosa Regent Hotel Taipei," which appears to be an attribution or source credit rather than an ingredient type. Standard mayonnaise is used here.
For best results, ensure the canned tuna is well-drained to prevent the sauce from becoming too watery.
This dish can be served warm or at room temperature, making it a versatile option for potlucks or meal prep.
