Ingredients

  • 150g Tuna Steak
  • 130g rice noodles
  • 80g carrots
  • 80g mangetout
  • 25g hoisin sauce
  • 15g spring onions
  • 3g garlic
  • pinch of Chinese five-spice
  • 40g cucumber

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the carrot and mangetout, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Soak or boil the rice noodles for 3-5 minutes until soft, then rinse under cold water.

  3. 3

    Sear the tuna steak in a very hot pan for 60-90 seconds per side, keeping the centre pink, then slice.

  4. 4

    Season with five-spice, then toss in hoisin and garlic over high heat for the last minute until sticky.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the carrot and mangetout for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: rice noodles first, then the veg and tuna steak, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the cucumber.
