    1 tablespoon soy sauce
    1 (3-ounce) STARKIST Flavor Fresh Pouch® Tuna (Albacore or Chunk Light)

    In wok, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat; add eggs and cook, stirring, until partially cooked but still runny. Return eggs to bowl. Wipe out wok with paper towels. Add 2 tablespoons oil to wok; heat.
