πŸ“Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Add the tuna cubes to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the tuna is seared on all sides but still pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the red and yellow bell peppers, sugar snap peas, zucchini, and corn kernels to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and grated ginger.

  6. 6

    Return the tuna to the skillet and pour the sauce over the top. Stir to combine everything evenly and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the tuna is heated through.

  7. 7

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
