Japanese Tuna Salad

Japanese Tuna, Quinoa, Kale and Squash Salad. This recipe was inspired by a dish I ordered from the new Wagamamas menu. My kids love Wagas so I’m delighted they have launched some new dishes as I always gravitated towards their pork belly ramen! This tuna is packed with goodness. It’s high in protein, contains your five a day and is so so tasty.

INGREDIENTS

4 tuna steaks

100g quinoa

350g cubed squash (I cheated and bought it ready diced as I wanted to save on time!)

100g edamame beans

100g kale, tough stalks removed

1 red chilli finely chopped or sliced

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

For the dressing/marinade

1 tbsp fish sauce

1 tbsp sesame oil

Juice of 2 limes

2 tbsp honey

5cm piece of ginger grated or finely chopped

2 garlic cloves crushed

1 tbsp olive oil

 

Shake your dressing ingredients together in a jam jar. Pour half over your tuna steaks and leave to marinade for 10 minutes or up to a few hours if you’re planning ahead.

Lay the kale and squash on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Put in an oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.⠀⠀⠀

Cook your quinoa according to packet instructions.⠀

Place your edamame beans in a pot of boiling water and leave to stand for a couple of minutes before draining.⠀

Get a griddle or frying pan hot and sear your tuna steaks for a minute on each side if they’re 1/2 inch thick and you want them pink in the middle.

Combine the quinoa, squash, kale and edamame means on a platter or individual plates and top with the tuna. Sprinkle with the chilli and drizzle over the remaining dressing.
