Soba Noodle Salad with Seared Tuna

I didn't have cucumbers which would have added a fresh taste, but this dish is very favourable overall. Very pleased but definitely not for 6 people. It will be a staple for our menu rota.

Definitely not enough for six!! More like 3 perhaps (ashamed to say how much my husband and I ate) Great quick meal for summer. Would serve as a nice luncheon to guests but not sure if I'd serve for a dinner party. I added some edamame and used a bit of five spice powder on the tuna steaks. Used sushi-quality yellowfin.

Easy to throw together and absolutely delicious. Took me about 35 minutes start to finish. I used grapeseed oil in place of the peanut oil and didn't add any sugar at all. I also substituted finely diced red onion for the green, only because it's what I had but it added a beautiful color to the veggie mix and wasn't overpowering at all. I used my cast iron grill pan for the tuna, which doesn't require even cooking spray to be nonstick and the piece was only 1" thick, so only took 2 minutes on each side. The recipe says serves 6 but who are they kidding? I used about 10 ounces of tuna for my husband and I and kept the other ingredients as is. Satisfying meal for us both, and honestly I didn't finish all of mine, but serving 6? I don't think so! This is a definite keeper.
