- Mix cooked noodles with the tuna.
- Drizzle with sesame oil and sesame seeds. Serve with any vegetables you have to hand or on its own.
I have served it here with kimchee and a bit of frozen spinach with lemon juice which is what I had to hand. You could add veg to stir fry or cook them to have alongside. Mushrooms, frozen peas and pepper could be nice.
I saw this recipe recommended in a magazine a while ago - and thought it sounded strange. However when I tried it I was very pleasantly surprised with the flavour and how filling it is - all ingredients have a long shelf life. You can also eat it cold as a salad.
