Once cooked, strain if necessary and set aside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prepare the sofrito<\/strong>: In a large skillet, heat the oil. Add the onion, garlic and bell pepper. Cook over medium heat until tender and lightly browned.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add the tuna<\/strong>: Add the shredded tuna and cook for 2-3 minutes, mixing well with the stir-fry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add the ingredients<\/strong>: Add the peas and cooked rice. Mix everything well and saut\u00e9 for a few minutes to integrate the flavors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seasoning<\/strong>: Add salt, pepper, and, if desired, a splash of soy or lemon sauce to enhance the flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Serve<\/strong>: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variants to not get bored:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>With egg<\/strong>: You can add a beaten egg at the end, as if it were fried rice, and cook until it sets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spicy<\/strong>: Add a few drops of hot sauce or ground chili pepper for a more intense version.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>With extra vegetables<\/strong>: Broccoli, shredded carrots or chopped zucchini are healthy and tasty options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>With curry<\/strong>: A teaspoon of curry powder transforms this recipe into an exotic and aromatic version.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Useful tips:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you have leftover rice from another meal, this recipe is ideal to take advantage of it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tuna in oil provides more flavor, but you can also use natural tuna and compensate with a drizzle of extra olive oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For a fresh touch, serve it with a few slices of avocado or a tomato salad on the side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This recipe can also be taken as a lunch: it keeps well and reheats easily.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you looking for a quick, tasty and nutritious meal?
