Ingredients

1 teaspoon finely chopped red onion
1 teaspoon minced red bell pepper
1 tablespoon frozen green peas, thawed
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon grated carrot
Salt and pepper to taste
1 (5 ounce) can Bumble Bee® Solid White Albacore Tuna in Water, drained and chunked
½ teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
¼ teaspoon sriracha chili garlic sauce
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 large fresh eggs
1 English muffin, split and toasted
Chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon Black sesame seeds

Steps:

Place the red onion, red bell pepper, peas, ginger, carrots, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir together, and then fold in the tuna.
In a small bowl, whisk the sesame oil, rice vinegar, lime juice, and Sriracha®. Pour over the tuna mixture and toss gently, trying not to break up the tuna.
Add a tablespoon of vinegar to a pan of lightly-salted water and bring it to a gentle simmer, not a hard boil (you'll see little bubbles in the pan). Crack each egg into a ramekin. Stir the water in a wide circle (like a whirlpool), and then slide in the egg; repeat for the second egg. Poach the eggs at a simmer for 4-5 minutes for soft yolks. Remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon to a paper towel and allow to drain.
To serve, top half of an English muffin with half of the tuna mixture, place a poached egg on top, and then sprinkle with the chopped cilantro and black sesame seeds.
