Saint Tuna

I'm doing the 40 day revolution at the moment which means dinners are quite saintly. Last night reminded me that saintly food can also be lip smackingly good.

I bought some super fresh tuna steaks from the Sydney Fishmarket (a good buy at $19.99 a kilo) plus some fresh broccolini, snow peas and organic soba noodles. I cooked the noodles for 4 minutes in boiling water (probaby could have done 3), steamed the broccolini and snow peas in the microwave for a minute and a half, then tossed in the noodles with a few drops of sesame oil and soy sauce (YUM).  The tuna was seasoned in salt and pepper and then encrusted with a combination of balck and white sesame seeds. A quick 2 minute sear in a super hot pan on each side and it was done.

The tuna was melth in the mouth with a bit of a crunch, the vegies crisp and the noodles were nutty and hearty. Defintely the best thing I've cooked in a while! Delicious yet saintly.
