I made this for a quick evening meal for 2, it takes about 30 minutes in total and doesn't involve much work. I used 8 fresh king prawns, shells still on. I also used a small piece of tuna.
Ingredients
- 8 raw king prawns in their shells
- 1 small piece of fresh tuna
- Half a teaspoon of sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon light soy sauce
- 2 teaspoon mirim
- Half a cucumber
- 1 banana shallot
- Soba noodles for 2
Method
- First, prepare the prawns, take the heads and the shells off and add them to a pan, cover with water and boil for 10-15 minutes. Strain the water into another pan and discard the shells.
- Reduce the bisque to almost dry, then add half a teaspoon of sesame oil, followed by 1 teaspoon of soy sauce and 2 teaspoons of mirim and mix well.
- Peel and slice the shallots thinly and soak in cold water for 8 minutes, this removes the acidity. Drain and squeeze out the water.
- Wash the prawns and cut the tuna and prawns into bite size pieces.
- Prepare the noodles as per instructions - mine were covered with boiling water and left for 5 minutes, then drained.
- While the noodles are prepared, add the prawns and tuna to a warmed pan and cook gently on a medium high heat until just cooked through. Drain the fish and add the cooking liquor to the sauce.
- Now prepare the cucumber, cut in half lengthways, remove the seeds and then slice into 2mm half moons.
- Add everything together except the dressing and mix well, then dd the dressing and give it another mix and serve.
