Ingredients:

  • 1 can of tuna in oil (Maya brand recommended)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large green chili pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Saori Szechuan sauce
  • Ground black pepper, to taste
  • Seasoning, to taste
  • Cooking oil for sautéing

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Slice the green chili pepper and garlic according to your preference. For a milder heat, you can remove the seeds from the chili pepper.

  2. Heat Oil: In a skillet or wok, heat a small amount of cooking oil over medium heat.

  3. Sauté Aromatics: Once the oil is hot, add the sliced garlic and green chili pepper to the pan. Sauté them until they release a fragrant aroma, being careful not to let the garlic burn as it can become bitter.

  4. Add Tuna: Add the canned tuna (drained of its oil) to the skillet. Gently stir and cook until the tuna is warmed through. Avoid over-stirring to keep the tuna pieces intact.

  5. Incorporate Egg: Crack the egg directly into the tuna mixture. You can also scramble the egg separately if you prefer, but for simplicity and quick preparation, just mix it directly into the tuna.

  6. Season and Flavor: Add the Saori Szechuan sauce, ground black pepper, and seasoning to taste. Stir well to combine all the flavors. Cook over low heat to allow the flavors to meld together and the egg to cook through.

  7. Serve: Once the tuna and egg are well-mixed and seasoned, your dish is ready to enjoy. Serve hot and savor the spicy, savory flavors of this easy and quick meal.

This recipe is a simple yet flavorful option for a satisfying meal, perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.
