Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 3 small eggs
- 1 small can (80 grams / 2.8 ounces) tuna, drained
Vegetables:
- 200 grams (7 ounces) cabbage, finely chopped
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch pepper
Instructions
- Warm a skillet to medium heat, creating an even cooking surface for the cabbage to soften and release its natural flavors.
- Toss chopped cabbage into the pan, gently moving it around to ensure uniform cooking and slight tenderness, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Crack eggs into a separate mixing bowl, seasoning with salt and pepper to enhance their natural taste profile.
- Incorporate drained tuna into the seasoned egg mixture, blending thoroughly to create a cohesive protein-rich combination.
- Carefully transfer the egg and tuna blend over the partially cooked cabbage in the skillet, spreading evenly across the surface.
- Allow the mixture to cook, occasionally stirring to prevent sticking and ensure consistent heat distribution, until eggs are completely set and ingredients are fully integrated.
- Remove from heat once eggs appear firm and glossy, with no visible liquid remaining.
- Transfer immediately to serving plates, ensuring the stir-fry remains hot and appetizing.
- Garnish with optional fresh herbs or a sprinkle of additional seasoning if desired, then serve promptly to maintain optimal temperature and texture.
Notes
- Boost protein by adding extra tuna or a sprinkle of cheese for more nutritional value.
- Swap cabbage with other low-carb vegetables like zucchini or spinach for variety and different flavor profiles.
- Choose low-sodium canned tuna to control salt intake and make the dish more heart-healthy.
- For a dairy-free and gluten-free option, ensure all ingredients are certified allergen-free and use a clean pan to prevent cross-contamination.
