Tuna Stir-Fry

Need a quick dinner? This one is fast and easy!

1 (7oz.) pouch StarKist Flavor Fresh Pouch Tuna-I used the Albacore White Tuna
1/2 cup sliced onion
2 Tbsp. soy sauce-I used Aloha Shoyu, my opinion it taste better
1 Tbsp. sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tbsp canola oil-I use olive oil with all my cooking instead
**1 bag (16oz.) frozen oriental vegetables
1 tsp. sugar
2 cups cooked rice
1 Tbsp. water

Directions:
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok until hot. Stir-fry onion, garlic and vegetables for 4 minutes, until crisp tender. Add tuna, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and 1 Tbsp. water. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Serve over hot rice.

**I used my own mix of fresh cut veggies: broccoli, carrots, green onions (small handful), this is what I had on hand the day I made this so you can add whatever you like. I did use a bag of oriental frozen veggies once and I didn't like the blend also everything seemed VERY soggy and not much like stir-fry. So I chose my own veggies and cooked those.

Also, I used more soy sauce (Aloha Shoyu) and sugar than called for to create more of a sauce in the stir-fry, about 1/3 cup soy sauce and 1 Tbsp sugar. I combined the sugar and the soy sauce; mixing so it dissolves completely before adding it to the stir-fry.
Note: those items combined like that is how your basic teriyaki sauce is made. :)

This recipe was found on the back of a 7oz. pouch StarKist Flavor Fresh Pouch Tuna
If you're not a fan of tuna then substitute with Chicken but the tuna adds great flavor!

We get so much tuna from WIC, we have to use it up! It's healthy too!
