  • 2 (2.5 oz.) Bumble Bee® Wild Caught Albacore Tuna in Water pouches
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame or other neutral-tasting oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
  • 1½ inch ginger, peeled and grated
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup shredded carrots

Directions

Whisk together toasted sesame oil, neutral-tasting oil, honey, coconut aminos, ginger, garlic and red pepper in a medium bowl until blended.
