Seared Tuna Soba Noodles Recipe

Ingredients:

250 g soba noodles*

¼ cup soy sauce

¼ cup mirin*

500 g sashimi-grade tuna, bloodline removed, cut into 5cm x 7cm chunks

1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

50 g mizuna leaves*

1 bunch broccolini, blanched, refreshed in cold water

 

Method:

Cook soba noodles according to packet directions.  Drain, then rinse in cold water.  Combine soy and mirin, then toss through noodles.  Brush tuna with oil, then season.  Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over high heat.  When hot, cook tuna for 20-30 seconds each side until lightly colored but still completely rare inside.  Remove from pan and cut into 5mm-thick slices.  Divide the noodles among plates, then top with mizuna, broccolini and tuna.  Serve.

 

* Soba noodles and mirin are from Asian food shops and selected supermarkets.  Mizuna is from selected greengrocers.
