Again, simple, easy, can take it to work for lunch… perfect for our current lifestyle of… being incredible busy and stressed out, too many things to do and never enough time.

It’s a simpler and cheaper version of the Eastern Style Tuna Nicoise Salad with Tea Marbled Eggs and Wasabi Vinaigrette.

Ingredients

• greens
• ginger
• soy sauce
• quail eggs
• tuna steaks
• pepper
• lemon pepper

For the dressing

• olive oil
• fish sauce
• lemon or lime juice
• garlic paste
• ginger paste
• sugar
• chilli

Marinate the tuna in the ginger and soy sauce for a good 20 minutes. Sear for a minute or 2 each side (for well done for 4 minute each side). Place the greens on the plate. This time, the tuna steak turned out to be well-done, as Greg liked it this way… I would have preferred medium or rare, but oh well.

Everything else is pretty straight forward.

One important thing: the cooking time of quail eggs.

Two and a half minutes: yolk is perfectly runny.

Three minutes: will turn into a medium boiled egg.

4 minutes + will result in a hard boiled egg. Mine was a bit more than 3 minutes, so in between a medium boiled and hard boiled. Next time I am only cooking it for 2,5 minutes. Enjoy 🙂
