Instructions
Making soy tuna steaks
I've taken 2 tuna steaks, 3 oz each.
Season the tuna with ground black pepper & salt. Don't add a lot of salt.
Place a cast-iron or non-stick pan over medium heat, add oil.
Place the seasoned tuna in the oil.
If you like seared tuna, cook over high heat for 2 minutes on each side.
I like my tuna medium well.
Flip over & cook both sides till slightly browned.
Add soy sauce & cook for a minute.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the tuna.
Transfer to a plate & drizzle some sauce that's left in the pan over the tuna.
Tastes absolutely delish, even with such simple ingredients.
For making green beans soy stir fry
I used whole green beans, just snip off the ends.
Place a pan over medium heat.
Add oil, add chopped garlic, saute for a minute.
Add the sliced shallots, saute till they turn soft.
Shallots taste better than onions.
Add the whole green beans, combine well.
Add ¼ cup water & cook covered till beans turn soft.
Don't overcook the beans.
Open the lid, stir fry for a minute till light golden spots form on the beans.
Add soy sauce, stir fry for a minute.
Finally, sprinkle sesame seeds & sesame oil.
Stir fry for a few seconds..
Take the pan off the heat.
This is one of my favorite dishes with green beans, serve as a side dish with any meal.
