- Cook the soba noodles according to the packet. Rinse them thoroughly once cooked through to stop them sticking together. Leave the noodles to one side while you prepare the rest of the dish.
- Add the sesame seeds to a plate and press the tuna steaks onto the seeds to create an even crust all over
- Finely chop the spring onion, and fry the whites in the sesame oil on a moderate heat. Add the garlic and ginger and stir fry until fragrant. Add the edamame beans and the soba noodles along with the soy sauce. Stir through and keep warm on a low heat while you fry the tuna.
- Preheat a frying pan to a medium to high heat. Add some neutral oil and sear the steaks on each side for one to two minutes, depending on how rare you like it.
- Thinly slice the tuna and serve on top of the noodles. Scatter with the spring onion greens and wedges of lime. Enjoy!

Seared Sesame Tuna Steak with Ginger Soba Noodles
Fresh seared tuna with noodles and edamame beans
This tuna dish really celebrates the flavour of the beautiful tuna steak, with a quick an easy Asian noodle stir fry. I have used soba noodles here, but any noodles would work well.
