Seared Tuna Wrap

Went to Costco the other day and found some awesome frozen tuna steaks. Yeah they're frozen, but they were such a good deal! $12.95 for 5-6 well-portioned steaks. The really good thing is that they're individually vacuum-packed. I was only going to use it for tuna tartar anyways but I had some leftover so I decided to just pan-fry it slightly and glaze it with some sweet chili sauce. Put it in a tortilla wrap with some sliced tomatoes, lettuce, and leftover ratatouille and there was my lunch for the day! I have to admit, for frozen steaks, they're pretty gosh darn good. I will definitely be picking up more on my next trip to Costco!

Stir Fried Korean Rice Cake with Enoki Mushrooms, Carrots, and Garlic Stems

This is what I had for lunch the other day. Looks pretty good eh? Garlic stems are in season these days and for those of you who have never tried them before, you really should. They aren't as garlic-y as you'd think they would be and after it's stir-fried, it has a mellow sweetness to it.

I love Korean rice cakes. They come frozen in a small bag so you can just cook as much or as little as you want without worrying about waste. And the big plus in this; no need to defrost! Add in some quick defrosting, and quick peel shrimp and some mixed veggies and sweet chili sauce (my favourite!) and you're good to go.

- Heat up a small frying pan and add the garlic. Sweat a little till almost golden. Add the frozen rice cake and stir fry for 1 minute. Add the garlic stems and carrot and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add a little water and cover to let it stem for another 2-3 minutes. Add shrimp and fry till cooked through. Add mushrooms at the end and the sweet chili sauce.
