Tuna noodle bowl
For extra flavor, before slicing the tuna, use one teaspoon miso paste to coat the tuna steak. Then, press a few ginger slices onto the top and bottom of the fish. Marinate in the fridge 30 minutes. Remove ginger before cooking. Adapted from the Seared Tuna with Bok Choy and Noodles recipe on the sbs.com.au website.
