- 150g/5½oz tuna steak
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 50g/1žoz rice noodles
- 500ml/18fl oz vegetable oil
- For the tuna, rub the tuna steak with the oil and season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat a frying pan until very hot. Add the tuna steak and sear for two minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through.
- Pour over the soy and honey and allow to cook and caramelise for 30 seconds. Remove from the heat, sprinkle with sesame seeds and set aside.
- To make the noodles, heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy bottomed saucepan until a breadcrumb sizzles and turns brown when added to it. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous, do not leave unattended.)
- Carefully add the rice noodles to the hot oil. They will puff up and cook in a few seconds, then carefully remove and drain on kitchen towels.
- To serve, place the tuna on a small warm plate and place the crispy noodles in a bowl alongside.
