Instructions

1 Pat your tuna steaks dry with a napkin or paper towel and set aside.
2 In a pan bring some water to a boil and then add the soba noodles. They only
take about 2 minutes to cook so while they are boiling make an ice bath. Move
the cooked soba to the ice bath and set aside.
3 In a bowl whisk together the ponzu, vinegar, sesame oil, water, sugar, and
spring onions. Set aside.
4 Give your ahi steaks an egg wash with the egg white and then press them into a
plate of sesame seeds. Use a spoon to evenly coat the entire piece of fish.
5 In a pan add some oil and get the temperature quite hot. Place the fish in the
oil and cook for 30 seconds. Flip, and then cook for another 30 seconds. Remove
to a cutting board.
6 Take the soba noodles out of the ice bath and place them in the ponzu mixture.
Give them a good mix. Lift the noodles out of the mixture and place on the
center of a plate, letting the excess liquid drip off.
7 Slice the seared ahi steak in about half cm (quarter inch) thick strips. Plate
around the soba. Garnish with sprouts (I used bean and pea) and serve.
