When it comes to quick and flavorful weeknight dinners, stir-fries are a go-to option for many of us. Today, I’m bringing a taste of China to your kitchen with my Chinese-style soy tuna, broccoli soy sauce stir-fry, and green beans soy sauce stir-fry.
I find broccoli & soy sauce get along so well, if you’re someone who dislikes broccoli try stir-frying broccoli with soy sauce I’m pretty sure you’re gonna love it.
Whenever I buy tuna steaks, I like to pan fry them (I like well-done tuna so I tend to pan fry rather than searing) after seasoning with ground black pepper & salt & while pan frying I add soy sauce, sesame seeds & sesame oil. If you like seared tuna, you can sear it at high heat & cook for 2 minutes on each side.
These dishes are not only easy to prepare but also bursting with savory flavors that will leave your taste buds dancing.
Let’s dive into this simple yet satisfying meal!
