Teriyaki Tuna & Soba Noodles

I've only made fish maybe 3 times, ever. This was the 3rd time making it & it turned out pretty good - my tuna steak was a little dry but my husband's was cooked perfectly. This marinade would also be good with salmon or chicken.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce
2 Tbsps rice vinegar
1 Tbsp chopped fresh ginger
1 tsp sugar
2 garlic cloves, chopped
4 tuna steaks
6 oz soba noodles
1/2 lb sugar snap peas, strings removed
1 sweet red pepper, seeded & thinly sliced
2 carrots, chopped
2 scallions, thinly sliced
additional teriyaki sauce for noodles

In a small bowl, stir together teriyaki sauce, vinegar, ginger, sugar, & garlic
Reserve 3 Tbsps for the noodles
Marinate tuna in remaining teriyaki sauce mixture for 15 mins
Prepare soba noodles following the package directions, adding snap peas & carrots during the last 3 mins of cooking
Drain & place in a medium bowl
Toss with red pepper sliced & reserved teriyaki sauce mixture
Let stand at room temperature
Coat a grill with nonstick cooking spray & heat over medium-high heat
Grill tuna for 3 mins
Turn & grill for an additional 2 mins for medium doneness
Serve with soba noodles & garnish with scallions
Toss noodles with additional teriyaki sauce if desired
