Introduction
A refreshing chilled pasta dish that can be easily made in the microwave without using the stove, utilizing canned tuna and tomatoes. The umami of the tuna and the fresh acidity of the tomatoes pair perfectly with the refreshing aroma of shiso leaves and the spicy kick of black pepper.
Step 1
Remove the stems from the tomatoes, dice into 1.5–2cm cubes, and place in a bowl.
Step 2
Lightly drain the liquid from the canned tuna and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Step 3
Add soy sauce, mentsuyu, sugar, vinegar, minced garlic, and olive oil. Mix well, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator.
Step 4
Place the broken pasta into a large heat-resistant bowl, add 500ml of water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and heat in the microwave at 600W for 10 minutes (package instructions time 7 minutes + 3 minutes).
Step 5
While the pasta is heating, wash the shiso leaves, pat dry thoroughly with a paper towel, stack them, roll them up, and shred into thin strips.

Important Notes
⚠️ When boiling pasta in the microwave, be sure to use a deep, large heat-resistant bowl to prevent boiling over.
💡 After cooling the pasta in cold water, draining it thoroughly is the most important step to prevent the sauce from becoming watery.
💡 If your mentsuyu (noodle soup base) has a different concentration, adjust the amount and taste-test during the final tossing step to make fine adjustments.
