*WARNING* Sassier Stir Fry *WARNING*

on February 24, 2011
I like to have tuna from time to time, but it's usually just regular tuna with relish on saltine crackers. As I was grocery shopping I noticed the sweet & spicy tuna and thought it sounded good. As I was putting groceries up I noticed this recipe on the back of the tuna package and thought I would give it a try. This is where things just went wrong. The recipe seemed promising, but something about it just didn't taste right...I couldn't even finish the meal much less eat leftovers. I'm not sure if it was the tuna or the sauce or what it was exactly, but it just didn't work.


So now you are warned, DO NOT make the recipe on the back of the package! Well who knows, maybe some of you would like it, we all have different tastes :)

Ingredients:
2 pouches (4.5 oz) StarKist Tuna Creations, Sweet & Spicy
2 tbsp pure toasted sesame oil
2 cups sliced zucchini, cut in half circles
1 red bell pepper sliced or diced
1 cup matchstick carrots
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp cornstarch
Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Directions:

Heat oil in large skillet or wok over medium high heat. Stir-fry zucchini, red bell peppers and garlic 1 to 2 minutes. Add carrots and stir-fry an additional 1-2 minutes.

Mix soy sauce with 1 cup water. Add cornstarch and stir to dissolve. Add to vegetables. Cook 1 to 2 minutes until sauce is thickened.

Stir in tuna and stir fry 1 minute - just to heat through. (Don't over-stir)

Serve over rice if desired.
