Veganize this: Tuna fried rice

I went to the Asian grocery store the other day and found vegan tuna and today I decided to try to find a way to use it. Based on this recipe.

Nothing special to look at, but the taste is great

·       350g Rice (or use 4 cups leftover cooked rice)
·       2 tabespoons olive oil
·       1 garlic clove, crushed and chopped
·       1 small onion, chopped
·       1 cup of frozen peas and corn
·       ¼ soy sauce
·       1 can vegan tuna

1.       Cook rice, then drain and refresh.
2.       Heat oil in a wok over high heat, add the onion and garlic and fry until browned.
3.       Add rice to the wok, stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the peas, tuna and soy sauce. Stir-fry quickly until heated through.

It’s a pretty quick simple dish, enjoy! Why use vegan tuna instead of real tuna? Tuna, particularly Bluefin tuna are victims of overfishing and are now endangered. To help not upset the delicate ecosystem of the ocean it’s better to reduce our consumption of all marine life.
