In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the ginger, onion, and garlic and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened.

Strain the sauce, season with salt and pepper; keep warm. Season the tuna with salt and pepper and coat both sides with the sesame seeds.

In a nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the tuna; cook over moderately high heat, turning once, until the sesame seeds are browned and the tuna is medium-rare.

Slice the tuna ⅓-inch thick and serve with the ginger cream and stir fry noodles, if desired. Enjoy!
