A nice, light Japanese dish...
 

 

 

SAUCE:

 

¼ cup 

 

reduced-sodium soy sauce

 

¼ cup 

 

sake

 

2 Tbs 

 

mirin

 

1 Tbs 

 

granulated sugar
 

 

 

 

DISH:

 

1 tsp 

 

canola oil

 

1 Tbs 

 

minced fresh ginger

 

2 cloves 

 

garlic, minced

 

1 medium 

 

red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

 

1 medium 

 

yellow bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

 

1 cup 

 

fresh snow peas, trimmed and halved on the diagonal

 

1 medium 

 

carrot, cut into matchstick-thin strips

 

1 lb 

 

tuna fillet, cut into 4 equal pieces

 

 

1

To make the sauce, bring the soy sauce, sake, mirin and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until the sauce is thickened and reduced by half (¼ cup), about 5 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat. Transfer half of the sauce to a bowl; cover and keep warm.

2

Spray broiler pan or grill rack with nonstick spray; preheat broiler or grill.

3

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl in the oil, then add ginger and garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, less than 1 minute. Add bell peppers, snow peas, and carrots; cook, stirring, until vegetables are tender-crisp, 4 -5 minutes.

4

Meanwhile, broil or grill the tuna 5 inches from heat source, turning occasionally and brushing with half of the sauce, until golden brown and just slightly pink in the center, about 3 minutes on each side.

5

Divide the vegetable mixture among 4 plates. Top each serving with a piece of tuna and drizzle with the remaining sauce. Serve at once.
