This tuna dish is a convenient fish meal that can be
prepared in minutes. Remember to always use tuna packed in water
because it has only a trace of fat, whereas a 3-ounce can of tuna
packed in oil has about 18 grams of fat.
2 teaspoons cold-pressed safflower oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
3 cups chopped fresh broccoli flowerets, or 1 16-ounce package
frozen broccoli, red peppers and corn, defrosted and drained
1 small red onion, thinly sliced into rings
3 tablespoons defatted sodium-reduced chicken broth
1 cup fresh snow peas
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 6-ounce can albacore tuna in water, drained and flaked
1-2 tablespoons sodium-reduced soy sauce
3 cups hot steamed brown rice
Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet. Add the garlic and ginger
and stir-fry briefly.
Add the broccoli and onion rings and stir-fry 3 minutes.
Add the chicken broth, snow peas and mushrooms and stir-fry
3 minutes more.
Add the tuna and soy sauce, and stir-fry just to heat.
Spoon onto hot rice and serve immediately.
