Ingredients

1 pkg rice noodles
olive oil or margarine
1 can tuna (drained) (or chicken)
1 pkg steamed veggies (such as broccoli or carrot)
to taste salt
to taste garlic powder (optional)

Directions

Cook rice noodles according to the instructions on the bag. Drain, return to pot. Add olive oil or margarine (enough to grease the noodles.) Stir in tuna, steamed veggies, and salt/garlic to taste.

Notes

This is one of my favorite quick meals; it's easy to make and a balanced meal at that!

I like to use the Birdseye Steam Fresh frozen veggie bags (pop in the microwave for a few minutes.) If you use these, drain the water out before adding to the noodles! I usually buy the carrot/broccoli/cauliflower medley.

Substitutions

If avoiding fish, canned chunked chicken can be used instead of the tuna.

Any type of pasta can be used - wheat, corn, quinoa, etc - instead of the rice noodles.

Alternate oil (rice, canola, etc.) can be used.

Make sure your tuna (or chicken) is soy-free if avoiding soy; this is a common additive in canned meats.

Be sure to check your frozen vegetable mix for any additives or seasonings.

Butter and Margarine: Butter is a dairy product made from cow’s milk. Margarine typically contains milk or soy, but there are milk-free and soy-free versions available.
Egg Substitutions: There are many egg-free products and foods available to make your recipes free of eggs. Find out more about egg substitutions.
Gluten: Gluten is a protein found in specific grains (wheat, spelt, kamut, barley, rye). Other grains are naturally gluten-free but may have cross-contact with gluten-containing grains. Look for certified gluten-free products if you need to avoid gluten. Find out more about wheat and gluten substitutions.
