Rice Noodle Tuna Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Cook pasta in a pot of salted boiling water until just beyond al dente, about 7 to 9 minutes, and cool under cold running tap water. Drain and reserve.
• In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water and ½ teaspoon salt to a boil over high heat. Blanch snow peas until just tender but still snappy, about 1½ minutes, and transfer to an ice bath to cool. Drain and slice lengthwise into strips about ¼-inch thick. Reserve.
• Season tuna with remaining salt and the pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 9-inch skillet or sauté pan over high heat; when it shimmers, sear tuna, about a minute and a half on each side. Drain tuna on a plate lined with paper towel, then cut into pieces about ¾-inch long and ¼-inch wide, and reserve.
• Whisk remaining oil with ginger juice, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil and mirin, if using. In a large serving bowl toss pasta with dressing. Add snow peas and tuna. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds and scallions and toss thoroughly to combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Refrigerate covered, or serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place rice in a medium bowl. Combine oil, vinegar, salt and pepper; pour over rice and toss to coat. Stir in the tuna, tomatoes, cucumber and onion. Line a serving platter with lettuce; top with salad. Garnish with eggs, olives and lemon if desired.

Steps:

• The cooked rice will have probably clumped together, so break it up in a large mixing bowl. Flake in the tuna, then mix in the peas, peppers, tomatoes, spring onions, parsley and olives, if you're using them.
• Stir through the mayonnaise, lemon juice and olive oil and season to taste. Cover the bowl with cling film or place in a large plastic container and let your household serve themselves whenever they are hungry.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients with the exception of the tuna and the rice noodles in a glass baking dish or other non-reactive container. After mixing, pour the marinade into the dish and then place the tuna steaks in it and coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour, turning the tuna about half way through.
• Remove tuna from fridge and let stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes or so. Remove tuna from marinade, shaking off any excess marinade and dry on paper towels. Reserve the marinade.
• Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and remove from heat. Completely immerse the rice noodles in the boiling water and cover for 10 minutes.
• Heat a saute pan or barbecue iron plate over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
• Add the tuna to the hot saute or barbecue plate and shake it a bit to make sure the tuna does not stick. Sear for 30 to 40 seconds on both sides. Remove and cover.
• Heat the marinade over medium heat until steaming. Drain the rice noodles add tuna steak and toss with the warmed marinade.
• Garnish with additional fresh cilantro and serve.
