Why trust us?

The perfect light dinner for the summer – this tuna poke bowl is fresh and filling. Served with fresh cucumber, edamame beans, mango and avocado plus a homemade wasabi mayo. The tuna steaks are coated in sesame seeds before a quick sear so that it retains its beautiful pink hue inside but gains a crunchy exterior.

Ingredients

2 Persons

80 g

dry quinoa
200 ml

water
2 x 120g

tuna steaks
1 tbsp

mixed sesame seeds
1 tsp

Coconut oil
150 g

cucumber, diced
100 g

edamame beans
0.5

mango, peeled, diced
0.5

avocado, peeled, sliced
2 squares

crispy nori
2

spring onions, thinly sliced
drizzle

soy sauce, to serve

WASABI MAYO:

40 g

0% fat Greek yogurt
12 g

Whey Protein Neutral
15 g

light mayonnaise
1 tsp

wasabi paste (or more, to taste)

Preparation

1

Place the quinoa into a sieve and rinse under cold running water. Drain and add to a small pot along with the 200ml water. Bring to a boil then turn the heat down to simmer. Leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes until cooked through then drain the quinoa well and return it to the pot. Cover with a lid and leave to sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb any remaining liquid.
2

For the wasabi mayo, whisk together the yogurt, neutral whey protein and mayonnaise until smooth. Add the wasabi to taste (different brands will vary in strength, it’s usually quite strong so start with a little and add more as needed).
3

Brush the outside of the tuna steaks with a little of the wasabi mayo then sprinkle the with the sesame seeds all over, pressing down so they adhere.
4

Heat the coconut oil in a medium frying pan over a high heat. Once hot, add the tuna steaks and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side (depending on thickness), then remove to a cutting board and slice.
5

Divide the cooked quinoa between two bowls. Top with the cucumber, edamame, mango, avocado and sliced tuna. Garnish with the crispy nori, spring onions and drizzle on the wasabi mayo. Serve with soy sauce for drizzling if you’d like.
