      5. Heat sesame oil over medium-high heat in a frying pan or pot. Add the cooked noodles and dried seaweed. Season with salt and soy sauce. Mix well until everything is warmed through and evenly blended.
      6. Arrange portions of the noodles with the seaweed on a large platter. Top with the chopped Wagyu steaks and the crumbled eggs.
      7. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds and garnish with chopped fresh onion or scallions.

    2. Delicious Wagyu Steak with Rosemary and Sea Salt
       Ingredients:

      • 2 Wagyu steaks (optional)
      • Fresh rosemary sprigs
      • Sea salt
      • Freshly ground black pepper
      • A little fat (e.g. olive oil)

      Instructions:

      1. Remove the Wagyu steaks from the refrigerator and allow to reach room temperature, leaving them on the side for about 30 minutes.
      2. Preheat a grill, griddle or grill pan to medium-high heat.
      3. Take the rosemary sprigs and separate the leaves from the stems, leaving a few leaves on top.
      4. Prepare the steaks by seasoning them with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
      5. Heat some oil on the grill, griddle or grill pan. Place the Wagyu steaks high on top of the grill or pan to form a nice crust.
      6. Cook the steaks according to your preference for degree of doneness (for example, 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare, depending on the thickness of the steak).
      7. When flipping the steaks, add a rosemary sprig on top of each piece of meat. This will add rosemary flavor and brighten it up.
      8. Once the steaks are done, remove them from the grill or pan and let them rest under foil for about 5 minutes to allow the juices inside the meat to linger.
      9. Serve the Wagyu steaks with rosemary and sea salt warm, sliced, and enjoy the exceptional flavour and texture of the meat combined with the aroma of the rosemary and the delicate spiciness of the sea salt
