Seared Sesame Yellowfin Tuna with Miso Dressing



⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I actually served this meal cold for a couple of reasons. Firstly because it’s been so hot that I didn’t fancy eating hot food. Secondly because I wanted to prepare supper in advance ready for supper that evening. You can mix and match with the veg. Sugar snaps, green beans or edamame would work really well. The beetroot was amazing with the miso dressing, even though its not an obvious Asian ingredient. Again noodles could easily be replaced with brown, black, or white rice. It’s the delicious dressing that pulls this dish together in a kind of Buddha bowl type of way.
