Instructions
- Start by preparing the vegetables and tuna. You can either buy prepacked shredded cabbage or you can chop up some whole cabbage with a knife (as finely as you can). Then, chop the baby corn into pieces, roughly ½cm or so, and set aside in a separate bowl. Drain the brine from the tins of tuna, and set the tuna aside.
- Add avocado oil into the frying pan over medium heat. Add the shredded cabbage, salt and pepper and stir fry for 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from the stove.
- Time to plate up – add cabbage. Then add tuna, over the cabbage. Next, throw in a few pieces of baby corn. Spoon on the seed mix, and add 2-3 olives.
- Drizzle another ½ teaspoon of avocado oil, over the assembled ingredients, and garnish with fresh coriander (if using).
