Asian Style Marinated Tuna

I was feeling a little asian inspired and decided to come up with a last minute dinner. Once again, super easy to make! Disclaimer - There are no exact measurements with my cooking (especially since it's not baking) so everything is executed to my taste.

What I used:

• 2 tuna steaks
• Wide rice noodles
• Bean sprouts
• Baby bella mushrooms
• Asian plum sauce
• Olive oil
• Rice vinegar
• Sea salt and pepper to taste
• Honey
• Sesame seeds
• Ginger root
• Soy sauce (not pictured below)

1. Start by marinated the tuna steaks. This should be done at least 1-2 hours prior to cooking. I mixed together soy sauce, olive oil, a spoonful of plum sauce, salt and pepper, honey, rice vinegar, and a small root from the ginger (chopped or minced). Cover and stick in the fridge until ready to cook!

2. Add rice noodles to boiling water. It takes about 10-12 minutes to cook. They might look mushy and overcooked but trust me, they'll be fine!

3. Rinse/clean mushrooms, cut up a little, add to skillet with beans sprouts. Add olive oil and cook on med/high heat for 5 minutes. They will be cooked but still maintain a bite.

4. For the tuna, make sure pan is on medium/high heat. Tuna should begin to sear immediately. If you have ever eaten or cooked tuna, you should know how you like it. Many people like it rare in the center. I cook mine so it's seared on all sides and maybe slightly light pink in the center! Not fully rare.

5. If you have leftover marinade sauce, add it to the skillet and reduce it for a minute on med/high heat. It will thicken and become a yummy sauce to drizzle over the tuna! 

6. You can use the same ingredients to make a sauce for the noodles as well. Top with sesame seeds!
