"Healthier-than-thou" Tuna Sashimi Bowl

So if one day you feel particularly lazy and particularly health-conscious you can try this quick and, as the name suggests, healthy meal!!! The preparation couldn't be easier - the only downside is that you'll need to find a place that sells sashimi-grade tuna and other Japanese ingredients.

So here it is in no particular order and without any measurements:

Fresh Sashimi-grade Tuna
Uncooked Soba noodles (that's buckwheat)
Seaweed salad (pre-made)
Lemon
Miso paste (any kind)
oil (something light)
Sesame seeds (optional)
Soy sauce and wasabi for dipping

The only thing that needs to be cooked is the noodles. Follow the instructions on the package - I believe 4 min at rapid boil is just right. Drain them under cold water as soon as the 4 min is up!!! Transfer some of the noodles (or all) into a nice bowl.

Then cut your beautiful tuna into sashimi slices - any size you like - and arrange it on one side of the bowl on top of the noodles. Put some seaweed salad next to the Tuna for contrast!

Now comes the experimentation part - making some sort of sauce to "dress" your bowl. I dissolved about half a teaspoon of Miso paste in some freshly squeezed lemon juice and then added some vegetable oil and water to dilute it. Keep trying the sauce until you like how it tastes. When you're satisfied with it just pour it on top of the tuna (but not so much on the seaweed) and VOILA you have just created one of the HEALTHIEST dishes on this blog!

Oh of course, you will need some soy sauce and wasabi to dip your sashimi in! Also, if you have sesame seeds you can sprinkle them on top, as well.

Enjoy!
