Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4; 1 cup tuna and vegetable mixture and 1/2 cup rice per serving

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked instant brown rice

Glaze

1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce (lowest sodium available)
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon canola or corn oil
4 tuna steaks (about 4 ounces each), rinsed and patted dry, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon grated peeled gingerroot
4 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed
4 medium green onions, thinly sliced
1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
1/2 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare the rice using the package directions, omitting the salt and margarine. Cover to keep warm. Set aside.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients. Set aside.

    Step 3

    In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the fish, garlic, and gingerroot for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the fish is golden brown on all sides (it will still be slightly pink inside), stirring constantly.

    Step 4

    Stir in the sugar snap peas, green onions, carrot, and bell pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring constantly.

    Step 5

    Make a well in the center of the fish and vegetables. Pour in the glaze mixture. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the glaze is thickened, stirring occasionally in the well only. Stir the fish and vegetables into the thickened glaze. Cook for 1 minute, or until the mixture is heated through, stirring constantly. Serve over the rice.
