Seared sesame tuna with soba noodles Recipe.

Ingredients:

1 TBSP sunflower oil
1/2 LB centre-cut sashimi-grade tuna
1/4 cup white sesame seeds
1/4 cup black sesame seeds
1 Cup soba noodles
1 cup edamame
1 cucumber, cut into wedges
1 Cup sprouts, trimmed
1 avocado, sliced
4 spring onions, sliced on an angle
Pickled ginger, to serve
Dressing
:

2 TSPs fine sugar
1 TSP wasabi paste
1/3 cup ponzu
2 TBSPs mirin
2 TSPs fish sauce
Juice of 1 lime

Recipe Instructions:

Heat the oil in a frypan over high heat.
Add the tuna and sear for 1 minute on each side - you want the tuna to remain rare on the inside.
Allow to cool slightly.

Combine sesame seeds on a clean board and roll the cooled tuna in the seeds to completely coat.
Enclose tuna tightly in plastic wrap, twisting ends to secure.
Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.


For the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and set aside.


Cook the noodles according to packet instructions, adding the beans for the final minute, then drain and refresh.


Meanwhile, remove tuna from fridge and slice 5mm thick.
Toss noodles and soy beans with the cucumber, sprouts, avocado, spring onion and dressing.
Divide among plates, then top with tuna slices and garnish with pickled ginger.
