Wasabi Tuna Steaks With Hokkien Or Udon Noodles Recipes

WASABI TUNA STEAKS WITH HOKKIEN OR UDON NOODLES

Steps:

• Whisk together marinade of Wasabi, Soy and Sugar until Wasabi is blended and sugar is almost dissolved, pour into flat glass or ceramic dish. Add Tuna steaks, turning to coat all sides. Marinate for at least an hour.
• Heat pan (I prefer cast iron) over med high.
• With tongs shake excess marinade from Tuna and place in hot oil for 3-4 minutes then turn and cook other side to your taste (we like ours pretty rare, but watch the sides so you can see how far they are cooked through.
• When done, remove from pan and set aside. Add all remaining marinade to pan, stir until it bubbles, turn heat to low.
• Nuke the noodles in their packaging then empty them into the pan (along with beans or snow peas, if using) and stir to coat them well.
• Place noodles onto serving platter, top with Tuna Steaks.

WASABI TUNA STEAKS WITH GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Mix soy, wasabi and garlic powder in a glas 8X10 baking dish. Add tuna and turn several times to coat. Let stand 15 minutes each side. (For extra flavor, I marinate up to 30 minutes each side but dont do longer because the marinade will over whelm the tuna eventually).
• Cook beans in a large pot of boiling water for about 4 minutes.
• Heat sesame oil at med-high. When hot, sear tuna 2 (ish) minutes each side- pepper each side before searing. Remove tuna steaks and add the marinade, brown sugar and beans. Cook until reduced - about 4 minutes.
• Serve with white or brown rice.

SEARED TUNA WITH WASABI-BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the white wine vinegar, white wine and shallots in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Strain out shallot and discard, return liquid to the pan.
• Stir the wasabi and soy sauce into the reduction in the pan. Over low heat, gradually whisk in butter one cube at a time allowing the mixture to emulsify. Be careful not to let the mixture boil. When all of the butter has been incorporated, stir in cilantro, and remove from heat. Pour into a small bowl, and set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush tuna steaks with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place in the hot skillet, and sear for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Be careful not to overcook, this fish should be served still a little pink in the center. Serve with sauce.

WASABI ENCRUSTED TUNA STEAKS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the five-spice powder, ginger, sake, rice vinegar, tamari, and sesame oil. Add the tuna steaks and turn to coat; allow to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Combine the crushed wasabi peas and brown sugar. Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, and press into the pea mixture to coat. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer until the sauce has reduced and thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
• While the sauce is cooking, sear the tuna in a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat to desired doneness. Pour sauce over tuna to serve.
