Instructions
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in large skillet over high heat. Add snap peas and red pepper. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add soy sauce and Sriracha; cook 3 minutes, or until peas are tender-crisp. Remove from heat, place snap peas in a large serving bowl, and stir in sesame seeds.
Cut the corn from the cob by holding an ear with one end resting in a large bowl to catch all the kernels and juices. Using a sharp knife, slowly slice down the ear, removing the top two-thirds of the kernels, but leaving the base of the kernel attached to the cob. Then, using the dull side of the knife, press down the length of the ear to push out the rest of the kernel and the milk.
Heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add green onions and cook 2 minutes or until softened, stirring frequently. Add corn kernels with all the corn milk, and coconut milk; continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until most liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add salt.
Place corn in the bowl with the snap peas, and gently mix together.
In a separate small bowl, flake the tuna into bite sizes pieces using a fork, and gently mix the flaked tuna into the veggies. Enjoy Immediately.
Notes
*Sesame seeds may be toasted on the stove or in the oven. Personally, I prefer the stovetop method, it’s easier for me and I can keep a better eye on them so I know they don’t burn. But, either way works.Stovetop toasting: In a large dry frying pan over medium heat, toast seeds until they brown and become fragrant, about 3-5 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally. Oven toasting: Preheat the oven to 325° F. Spread the seeds onto a baking sheet, and bake until the seeds brown and become fragrant, about 15 minutes.**If you’re making this recipe with Island Trollers Albacore Tuna, you don’t want to drain off those tasty juices from the can; they're the juices from the fish itself, not just plain ol’ water or oil. Those juices are loaded with Omega 3s. So, it might feel a little weird not to drain the tuna, but don’t do it.
