Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
  • 4 U.S. Pacific-caught tuna steaks, about 6 ounces each
  • 6 ounces soba noodles
  • 1/2 pound sugar snap peas, strings removed
  • 1 sweet red pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • Additional teriyaki sauce for noodles, optional

Method

  • 1. In a small bowl, stir together teriyaki sauce, vinegar, ginger, sugar and garlic. Reserve 3 tablespoons for the noodles. Marinate tuna in the remaining teriyaki sauce mixture for 15 minutes.
  • 2. Prepare soba noodles following package directions, adding snap peas during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain and place in a medium-size bowl. Toss with red pepper slices and reserved teriyaki sauce mixture. Let stand at room temperature.
  • 3. Coat a grill pan with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Grill tuna for 3 minutes. Turn and grill for an additional 2 minutes for medium doneness. Serve with soba noodles and garnish with scallions. Toss noodles with additional teriyaki sauce, if desired.
