After rubbing the chicken with salt and pepper, place it in the turbo broiler.  Add a bar of butter which you can cut up and spread around the chicken.  Add 4 chicken bouillons.  Add 4 pcs of lemons sliced in half or thirds.  

Turn on the turbo broiler!
If you see the lemons browning, you can remove it from the turbo to avoid it burning and adding a bitter taste to the gravy after.

You need:
1 packet udon noodles
2 cups boiling water
2 tsp dashi powder
2 tsp mirin
2-3 tsp soy sauce, adjust to taste
pinch of salt
pinch of sugar

Toppings can be:
spring onion, finely sliced diagonally
bonito flakes
fish cakes

Cook udon noodles according to the packet instructions.  Keep it chewy and not too soggy.

In a separate pot, mix the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil.  

Portion and you may top with spring onions and bonito flakes.

3. When hot enough, put one tuna steak in and sear for about 1 to 1.5 minutes on each side and remove from the pan.
4. Using a very sharp knife, slice really thin pieces and place them on a plate.
5. Repeat if you have more than one tuna steak.
6. You can serve with additional Japanese sesame dressing.
