1
Prepare the Tuna
Lightly sear the fresh tuna steak in a hot skillet with sesame oil for about 1-2 minutes on each side until the outside is browned, but the inside remains rare.
2
Chill the Tuna
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it cool slightly, then wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3
Make the Ginger Somen Noodles
Cook somen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Toss with grated ginger and a splash of soy sauce.
4
Slice the Tuna
Once chilled, remove the tuna from the refrigerator and slice it thinly.
5
Plate and Garnish
Arrange the sliced tuna on a plate, drizzle with soy sauce, and sprinkle with black sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve with the ginger somen noodles on the side.
