Asian Tuna with Thai Noodles
Last week I remade my mom's Tuna Noodle Casserole and I caught some flak because I didn't use tuna. So this week I remade it again and used tuna, but this time I made it Asian inspired. I used spaghetti for the noodles, because that is what I had on hand. You could use actual Asian noodles for this, such as soba.
Asian Tuna with Thai Noodles
Tuna
1 Tuna Steak, about 8 oz (there is enough marinade for at least 1 pound of tuna)
¼ cup honey
¼ cup soy sauce
4 teaspoons sesame oil
1 scallion, chopped white and green parts
Noodles with Thai Peanut Sauce
3 tbs Peanut Butter, reduce fat or natural
4 tsp Rice Vinegar
3 tbs Low Sodium Soy Sauce
2 tsp Honey
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Ginger Powder
1/8 tsp Cayenne (more or less depending on your taste preference)
4 oz spaghetti
Noodle Garnish
1 tbs Peanuts, roughly chopped
1 scallion, chopped white and green parts
Tuna Instructions
Put all of the ingredients in a plastic bag. Let the tuna marinate for at least 1 hour. Then grill it to the desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for 1 inch thick steaks grilled to medium.
Noodles with Thai Peanut Sauce
Mix all of the Peanut Sauce ingredients together. Put the mixture in the microwave for 30 seconds, this will make it much easier to mix. Pour the mixture over the spaghetti and stir together. Top with garnish.
