JAPANESE-STYLE TUNA NOODLE SALAD



Japanese-Style Tuna Noodle Salad image

Here's a simple udon salad I picked up from the chef and entrepreneur Bart van Olphen, who elevates canned tuna to the heights of deliciousness. Van Olphen dresses the noodles in what he calls wafu dressing, which translates roughly as Japanese-style: a sweet-salty vinaigrette of soy, sesame oil, mirin and rice vinegar. I add a little sweet miso for texture and taste, and increase the amount of seaweed in the salad as well. Garnish with sesame seeds or furikake, the Japanese seasoning blend, and you have a superior tuna casserole. It is as good served cold as hot.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup cut dried wakame seaweed
8 ounces dried udon noodles (or whatever noodles you have on hand)
1 to 2 tablespoons furikake or sesame seeds
10 to 12 ounces tuna in oil, drained
2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sweet miso

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high, and set the wakame in a small bowl. Once the water comes to a boil, ladle or pour enough over the wakame to cover it by 2 inches; let the wakame soak for 10 minutes. Transfer the wakame to a colander to drain and cool; set aside.
  • While the wakame soaks, cook the noodles according to the package instructions.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the dressing: In a measuring cup or bowl, whisk to combine the sesame oil, canola oil, rice wine vinegar, mirin, soy sauce and miso; set aside.
  • In a small skillet, lightly toast the sesame seeds, if using, over medium-low heat until fragrant; set aside.
  • Drain the cooked noodles in the colander, then transfer to a wide, shallow serving bowl. Add the wakame and about 3/4 of the dressing, and toss to coat. Divide the noodles among 4 bowls. Top each portion with tuna, drizzle with the remaining dressing, then sprinkle with the scallions and furikake or sesame seeds. Serve hot, cold or anywhere in between.

ARMENIAN-STYLE POTATO SALAD



Armenian-Style Potato Salad image

Potato salad is the first food I remember eating, so I really do have a deep emotional attachment, but every so often, I crave something completely different-and this Armenian-style potato salad is completely different. And completely delicious. And, unlike American-style, completely safe left on a sunny picnic table for hours. Serve drizzled with more olive oil and garnished with more fresh mint.

Categories     No Mayo Potato Salad

Time 3h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, quartered, and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon kosher salt, or more to taste
1 tablespoon dried mint, divided
½ cup mild olive oil, divided
1 large red onion, diced
½ cup diced red bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
⅓ cup lemon juice, or more to taste
½ cup thinly sliced green onions
¼ cup chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon Aleppo chili flakes
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Transfer sliced potatoes into a large pot with enough cold water to cover the potatoes by a couple of inches. Stir in 1 rounded tablespoon kosher salt and 2 ½ teaspoons dried mint. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and let cook until tender, about 15 minutes, checking every 5 to 6 minutes for doneness. Drain well.
  • Transfer cooked potatoes to a large mixing bowl and let cool slightly.
  • While potatoes cool, heat ¼ cup olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add red onion, red bell pepper, garlic, and a pinch of salt; cook and stir for just 1 minute. Turn off the heat and stir in remaining dried mint.
  • Drizzle freshly squeezed lemon juice into potatoes and toss gently with a spatula. Add green onions, red onion mixture, remaining olive oil, fresh mint, fresh parsley, salt to taste, black pepper, chili flakes, and cayenne. Mix with a spatula until combined.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled and flavors have melded, 3 to 4 hours.
  • Unwrap; stir, taste, and adjust seasonings as needed to personal tastes. The salad almost always needs more salt stirred in once it's tasted after being chilled. Serve.

TUNA NOODLE SALAD



Tuna Noodle Salad image

Very tasty. A lot of pasta salads like this are long on mayonnaise and short on flavor. This one is very satisfying. Using the oil may seem risky, but it's the secret behind the deep flavor. A summertime favorite.

TUNA AND NOODLE SALAD LIGHT



Tuna and Noodle Salad Light image

Many years ago, my friend went to Spain and brought back a fantastic tapa that was made with tuna, garlic, onions, tomatoes, garlic aioli sauce. This mixture was spread on chunks of crusty bread...OH YUM. But that is not very healthy and I wanted to revamp it a little and this is what I came up with. And honestly, it comes pretty close. It is easy and tasty. I hope you like it as much as I do.
