Ingredients

• 1 cup white rice
• 2 cups water
• 1 can (5-6 ounces) canned tuna (in water or oil)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 0.5 cup frozen peas
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 stalk green onion (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the rice simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed. Remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 5

Drain the canned tuna (if using tuna in water) and add it to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon.

Step 6

Add the frozen peas to the skillet and stir for 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Step 7

Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and add it to the skillet along with the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is slightly toasted and everything is warmed through.

Step 9

If desired, finely chop the green onion and sprinkle it over the rice as a garnish before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your Quick Easy Tuna Rice!
