salt... do not add the "1 Tbsp kosher salt", use low sodium stock, and
no salt added butter. Take care, Gloria]

Serves: 4
--> Soy-papaya froth
4 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups papaya puree
1/2 cup lite soy sauce
4 Tbsp pickled ginger
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
In medium pot, bring all ingredients to a slow boil, then puree until
smooth.
--> Pickled green papaya
2 cups green papaya, thinly sliced
1 oz olive oil
3 Tbsp chopped chives
1 oz Champagne vinegar
1 Tbsp kosher salt
Combine ingredients.
--> Soba noodles
3 oz soba noodles, cooked and blanched
3 Tbsp butter
1 oz chicken stock
1/2 oz red bell peppers, julienned
Cook noodles in a large amount of water (they will double in size) for
5 to 7 minutes until al dente, then rinse in ice-cold water.
In a hot pan, saute noodles with butter and chicken stock. Add julienned
red peppers and toss.
--> Ahi tuna
Cooking spray or oil
Two 5-oz pieces blue fin ahi tuna
(chef's substitution: 8oz aged sirloin steak)
Cut tuna into steaks. Roll in 6-spice (see below), heat a pan with cooking
spray or oil, then sear (rare) for 3 to 4 minutes in medium-to-hot pan.
Let cool and slice into eight pieces with a sharp knife.
--> 6-Spice
1/2 oz wasabi powder
1/2 oz Spanish paprika
1/2 oz ginger powder
1/2 oz cayenne pepper
1/2 oz turmeric
1/2 oz black pepper
Combine all ingredients.
To plate: On a flat plate, lay out soba noodles, then lean the slices of
tuna on the noodles, adding pickled papaya salad on top for height. Use a
hand blender tilted at a slight angle to add air to the sauce to create
a froth. Use the froth to decorate the plate.
