AI
Ingredients
- 200g dried noodles (spaghetti or rice noodles)
- 1 can (180g) tuna in olive oil, drained
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Szechuan chili paste (or any hot chili paste)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 100g frozen mixed vegetables (such as peas, carrots, and corn)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Steps
- Cook the dried noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the Szechuan chili paste and soy sauce, mixing well to combine. Cook for another minute.
- Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet and continue to cook until heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
- Gently fold in the drained tuna, breaking it up slightly, and then add the cooked noodles, tossing everything together until well-coated in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat the noodles through.
- Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired.
