Instruction

  • Heat the oil in a frypan over medium-low heat and cook sliced onions and half the spring onion for 15 minutes or until soft, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
  • Season steak and brush with olive oil. Heat a frypan over high heat until hot and sear the steak for 60 seconds on both sides until browned. Remove from heat and rest for 10 minutes in a warm place.
  • Meanwhile, bring dashi or stock to a simmer in a large pan over medium-low heat. Stir in mirin and soy, followed by the onion mixture, tofu and sugar. Heat through for 2-3 minutes.
  • Divide noodles among 4 bowls and top with broth. Thinly slice steak and scatter over noodles, then serve topped with snow peas, sesame seeds and remaining spring onion.
