Recipe Summary Asian Tuna With Poached Egg

Who knew that a humble staple like a can of tuna could be transformed into such a snazzy lunch or brunch? The Asian flavor is subtle, making the fresh albacore tuna the star!

Ingredients | Albacore Tuna Loin Sushi

1 teaspoon finely chopped red onion

1 teaspoon minced red bell pepper

1 tablespoon frozen green peas, thawed

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

1 teaspoon grated carrot

Salt and pepper to taste

1 (5 ounce) can Bumble Bee® Solid White Albacore Tuna in Water, drained and chunked

½ teaspoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice

¼ teaspoon sriracha chili garlic sauce

1 tablespoon white vinegar

2 large fresh eggs

1 English muffin, split and toasted

Chopped cilantro

1 teaspoon Black sesame seeds

Directions

Place the red onion, red bell pepper, peas, ginger, carrots, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir together, and then fold in the tuna.

In a small bowl, whisk the sesame oil, rice vinegar, lime juice, and Sriracha®. Pour over the tuna mixture and toss gently, trying not to break up the tuna.

Add a tablespoon of vinegar to a pan of lightly-salted water and bring it to a gentle simmer, not a hard boil (you'll see little bubbles in the pan). Crack each egg into a ramekin. Stir the water in a wide circle (like a whirlpool), and then slide in the egg; repeat for the second egg. Poach the eggs at a simmer for 4-5 minutes for soft yolks. Remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon to a paper towel and allow to drain.

To serve, top half of an English muffin with half of the tuna mixture, place a poached egg on top, and then sprinkle with the chopped cilantro and black sesame seeds.

Another nice topping on the poached egg would be a drizzle of light peanut sauce and some chopped peanuts. For a lower carb version, you also could eliminate the English muffin, serve the tuna mixture and poached egg over a base of fresh baby spinach leaves and thinly-sliced cucumbers.
