Cal: 480.8 • Fat: 10.3g • Carb: 58.1g • Protein: 43.1g • Fiber: 3.9g • Sugar: 4.5g

Ingredients
Salad

  • 1 cup purple cabbage, shredded
  • 1 1/2 cups spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 of a cucumber, seeded and sliced
  • 4 scallions, root ends removed & sliced
  • 3 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 3 Tbsp fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 3 Tbsp fresh basil leaves, julienned
  • 4 – 3oz. tuna steaks
  • S & P
  • 1 cup frozen shelled edamame
  • 8 oz. buckwheat soba noodles (Whole Foods carries them)
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts

Dressing

  • 1 Tbsp freshly grated ginger root
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp + 1 tsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp sriracha chile sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp canola oil

Method

  • Bring water to a boil and cook soba noodles according to the directions. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add frozen edamame. When finished cooking, drain and rinse with cold water until the noodles and edamame are chilled.
  • Meanwhile, combine cabbage, spinach, carrots, cucumber, scallions, cilantro, mint, and basil in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add noodles and edamame once chilled.
  • Combine ingredients in the dressing in a small bowl and whisk together.
  • Pour dressing over vegetables and noodles and toss to combine. Place in refrigerator.
  • Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high to high heat. When hot, spray with Pam non-stick cooking spray and place steaks on the hot pan. You want the pan to be really hot so they sear quickly rather than steaming.
  • Cook on each side for 1-2 minutes, or until tuna reaches desired doneness. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Plate each bowl with the chilled soba noodle salad and top with a piece of tuna.
  • Garnish with crushed peanuts and serve immediately.

    I didn’t have sesame oil and used chili oil and it was good. Gave it a little extra heat but not to much. Jim loved this and we’ll defiantly do again.
