- 0.25 tsp Black Pepper (ground)

Prepare Ingredients
Dice the onion finely, measure out the mixed vegetables, and drain the canned tuna completely.
Time: PT5M
Make the Filling
In a mixing bowl combine the drained tuna, diced onion, mixed vegetables, black pepper, optional hot pepper sauce, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently until everything is evenly distributed.

Lay Out the Wrappers
