Ingredients
- 250 grams Spaghetti or thin noodles
- 150 grams Canned tuna (in water or olive oil)
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar

Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti or thin noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles, rinse under cold water to cool completely, and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, prepare the dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled noodles, drained canned tuna, cucumber, carrot, green onions, and sesame seeds.
Pour the prepared dressing over the noodles and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Let the dish chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve cold, garnished with additional sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.
