Coatings can come from anywhere. My friend Chef John Pearson turned me on to the idea of coating fish with the wasabi peas. The result is mildly spicy and the crunchy texture is perfect. Do keep in mind that wasabi coated peas are very high in calories.

2 Tbsp | black vinegar |
4 Tbsp | rice vinegar |
2 Tbsp | Splenda or stevia |
1 tsp | low-sodium soy sauce |
1 tsp | cornstarch |
1/4 cup | water |
1/4 cups | wasabi coated green peas |
2 | 4 ounce tuna |
4 ounces | soba noodles |
2 quarts | water |
2/3 cups | frozen shelled edamame (soybeans) |
1 tsp | chili oil |
1/2 tsp | black sesame seeds |
Place the black vinegar, rice vinegar, Splenda, soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of the water in a non-reactive sauce pan. Heat over medium heat. When the sauce is hot remove from the heat.
While the sauce is heating add the cornstarch to the water and stir to blend well.
Place the 2 quarts water in a medium pot over high heat. Heat until boiling.
Place a large non-stick skillet in the oven and preheat to 450°F.
Grind the peas in a blender or mini chopper until they are the consistency of fine gravel. Pour them out onto a plate and place tuna steak on the ground peas. Coat thoroughly by turning the tuna and patting the peas onto the surface of the tuna.
When the water is boiling add the soba noodles and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Place the chili oil in the heated pan and swirl to coat. Add the coated tuna and return the pan to the oven.
Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce and return to medium-high heat. Whisk often.
After about three minutes turn the tuna.
Drain the soba noodles (they will take about 6 to 8 minutes to cook). Return the noodles to the stock pot and add the endamame and the thickened sauce. Toss to coat the noodles well and heat the endamame.
Divide the sauce between two bowls and top with the cooked tuna. Garnish with black sesame seeds.
