Everything Tuna With Udon Noodles Recipe

May 19, 2011 by Renee

Tuna with Udon Noodles

Tuna 3To be honest, we are really meat and potatoes people. Or rather, poultry and potatoes people. When we first married, Ari’s idea of tuna was canned tuna and while I did like some sushi and some fish, I only ate it out of the house. On occasion. And very rarely at that.  But because we are both trying to live a little healthier as we get older (never to late to start, right?!) our red meat intake has been significantly reduced and our fish intake has increased in it’s place.  So,  we have been experimenting with fish varieties and recipes we think will please our entire family. We love Udon noodles and cooking with Mirin and this Everything Tuna steak is a perfect match. Fish sticks, stand back!

Everything Tuna With Udon Noodles Recipe

Author: Renee
Ingredients
  • 4 tuna steaks (4-5 ounces each)
  • ¼ cup dried onion
  • ¼ cup dried garlic
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
  • 2 egg whites
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1lb Udon noodles (cooked per package directions, reserving 1 cup of pasta water)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup Mirin ((sweet, cooking rice wine))
  • 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1-2 scallions (chopped, green part only, for garnish)
Method
  1. Rinse the tuna steaks and pat dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
  2. Set up your “batter” station by setting out two flat pans with rims. In one pan, break up the egg whites with a fork for the egg wash. In the next pan, combine the onion, garlic, seeds and salt.
  3. Because the tuna takes very little time to sear, go ahead and cook your Udon noodles per the package directions. Be sure to reserve a cup of the pasta water to add to the sauce. Add the water and noodles back to the pot and keep over a very low flame. Add the soy sauce, Mirin and rice wine vinegar. Keep warm.
  4. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil over high heat being careful not to let it smoke.
  5. Working quickly, dip the tuna into the egg wash and then the seed mixture and coat the steak completely.
  6. Place the tuna in the hot skillet to sear. About 1 minute on each side for rare tuna.
  7. Add a portion of noodles in a large bowl with sauce and top with a tuna steak and a sprinkling of scallions.

Totally forgot to post the cut of my soap here. It Totally forgot to post the cut of my soap here. Its been very busy and I’m like a whirling dervish in all different directions. On the food front we made some favorites-Chicken Marbella that sustained us for a week and also a Corned Beef and Cabbage dish because it is March after all. But it was good to have the comfort foods we love and old standards as they provide the most contentment when it’s chaos everywhere else. Regular work and then some wholesale orders and getting the line poured for our Spring/Summer scents. And helping others with a few website issues. And kids. Thankfully, it seems to all be under control now and I’m really happy to be busy. All good things! 

The Eucalyptus Mint cut (smells amazing!) turned out so nice. Very happy with it. Had a request for a classic Cucumber Melon soap. Also a lovely fresh and clean spring/ summer scent. Available soon. But the Spring/Summer line of candles are done and are now available! Yay!

Still cooking. This week I made the amazing stuffe Still cooking. This week I made the amazing stuffed vegetables from Aglaia Kremezi and they were so delicious. But I didn’t take any photos. I did, however, take video of my latest soap pour. White eucalyptus and mint. Smells amazing! Can’t wait to see how the cut turns out. It was a bit thicker trace than I expected.

And while we are still cooking a lot, most of my big concoctions lately have been outside the kitchen and in the soap/candle studio. Here I am mixing scents, clays and mica colorants. Lots of new products coming to @lesilobleu soon.
