Instructions

Marinate the Tuna

In a shallow bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and pepper. Add drained tuna and let marinate while preparing the noodles.

Cook the Noodles

Boil soba noodles in water according to package instructions (typically about 2 minutes, until they float). Stir briefly, then drain and set aside.

Heat the Tuna

In a skillet over medium heat, warm the marinated tuna for 3–4 minutes until heated through. Remove from pan and cover to keep warm.

Prepare the Noodles

In the same pan, heat 2 tsp oil. Add grated ginger and garlic, sautéing until fragrant. Add soba noodles and spinach, tossing until wilted. Season with soy sauce and sesame oil to taste.

Serve

Divide noodles between two bowls. Top with warm tuna, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro.
