Ahi Tuna Soba Noodles *

 9.5 oz soba noodles, dry
2 Tbsp avocado oil
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
2 jalapenos, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz snow peas
1/2 cup matchstick carrots
1/2 tsp ginger powder
4 Tbsp coconut aminos (or soy sauce) 
2 Tbsp lime juice
4 (4 oz each) fresh ahi tuna filets
2 Tbsp everything but the bagel seasoning
2 Tbsp avocado oil
1 avocado, sliced
1 lime, sliced into wedges

Bring a pot of water to a boil.  Once boiling, add soba noodles and cook according to package instructions.  Drain, rinse well, and set aside.  Heat a large skillet over medium high heat with avocado oil and sesame oil.  Add jalapenos, garlic, snow peas, carrots and ginger powder.  Saute, stirring, until snow peas are slightly charred and tender, about 4-5 minutes.  Add cooked soba noodles, coconut aminos, and lime juice.  Continue cooking, stirring, until all flavors are combined, 3-4 minutes.  Place everything but the bagel seasoning on a plate and coat both large sides of tuna filets so that it is completely and evenly coated.  Heat a skillet over high heat with 2 Tbsp avocado oil.  Swirl in the pan so oil evenly coats the pan.  The skillet should be very hot.  Sear tuna steaks, about 30 seconds per side for rare and 90 seconds per side for medium rare and warm in the center.  Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for a minute.  Using a very sharp knife, carefully and thinly slice the tuna steaks.  Serve tuna steaks with soba noodle stir fry along with sliced avocado and wedge of lime.
