Ingredients
For the Salad:
For the Dressing:
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente.
- Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold running water to stop the cooking process.
- Toss the rinsed noodles with a bit of sesame oil to prevent sticking, and then set them aside to cool.
- Season the ahi tuna steaks with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or a grill pan over high heat.
- Add a touch of oil to the skillet, and when it’s hot, sear the tuna steaks for about 1-2 minutes on each side. The goal is to sear the outside while keeping the inside rare or medium-rare, depending on your preference.
- Once seared, remove the tuna from the heat and let it rest for a minute. Then, thinly slice it.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, and optional red pepper flakes or Sriracha for a bit of heat. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked and cooled noodles, mixed salad greens, cucumber slices, and julienned or grated carrot.
- Arrange the sliced seared ahi tuna on top of the salad.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and tuna. You can use all the dressing or adjust the amount to your preference.
- Garnish the salad with chopped cilantro or parsley and sesame seeds if desired.
- This salad is best served chilled.
- Enjoy your simple and refreshing Cold Noodle Salad with Seared Ahi Tuna! It’s a delicious and satisfying meal, perfect for a light lunch or dinner.
