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

  1. Cook the dried noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the Szechuan chili paste and soy sauce, mixing well to combine. Cook for another minute.
  4. Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet and continue to cook until heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. 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.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired.
