Stir-Fried Tuna and Snow Peas with Ginger and Soy Sauce – An Easy and Healthy Canned Tuna Recipe
This recipe is inspired by Asian cuisine and showcases the simple, fresh flavors often found in a classic stir-fry. The combination of tuna with crunchy snow peas and a zesty ginger-soy sauce offers a delightful and quick meal.
Ingredient List:
2 cans of tuna in water, drained
2 cups of snow peas, ends trimmed
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon of fresh ginger, minced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of sesame oil
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon of cold water
Sesame seeds and chopped scallions for garnish
Preparation Steps:
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced ginger and garlic to the pan, stirring constantly for about 1 minute to prevent burning.
Add the snow peas and red bell pepper to the pan, and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are just tender but still crisp.
Stir in the drained tuna and break it up with a spoon. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the tuna is heated through.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce and sesame oil. Pour this over the stir-fry in the pan.
Stir in the cornstarch-water mixture and allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
Serve the stir-fry hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.
Drink Pairing: A chilled glass of Sake would complement the Asian flavors of this dish beautifully. For a non-alcoholic option, consider a green tea or a cool glass of Lychee juice.
Chef's Tips:
You can customize this stir-fry with any of your favorite vegetables, such as broccoli, baby corn, or bok choy.
For a spicier dish, consider adding a dash of sriracha or some sliced chili peppers to the stir-fry.
This stir-fry is best served over a bed of steamed rice or noodles to make it a complete meal.
