Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna in water
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large carrots, julienned
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrots. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Pour the orange sauce from the bowl into the skillet and stir well to coat the vegetables.
Add the drained tuna to the skillet, breaking it into chunks as you mix it with the vegetables and sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tuna is warmed through.
Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top before serving.
Serve immediately over rice or noodles, if desired.
