Allow to marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes. Discard the ginger and grill the tuna fillet on a hot cast iron grill with olive oil until the tuna is cooked outside and medium rare inside. Serve immediately hot with a bed of Bok Choy stir fried noodles.
To make the Bok Choy stir fried noodles: 1) Cook the dried udon noodles as per packet instruction, drain and keep it warm while set aside. 2) Heat a frying pan with some olive oil, gently saute chopped spring onion, chilli, garlic and ginger for 3-5 mins (or until fragrent). Turn up the heat and stir fry the chopped mushroom until semi-soft, add a dash of soy sauce and the stalk ends of the bok choy and continue stir frying. 3) When the stalk ends of the bok choy begin to soften, add the remaining leaves of the bok choy and continue cooking until the leaves are cooked through. Toss in the pre-cooked udon noodles and add a few more dash of soy sauce. Serve immediately on a plate with the grilled tuna on top.
