Salt
1/8 cup mirin*
1/4 cup ground nori*
1/8 cup rice wine vinegar*
1 1/2 cups water

1 pinch black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons wasabi paste*

Steps:

  • Tuna: Heat oil in skillet on stovetop. When the oil is very hot, place tuna in pan and sear for 1 minute on each side leaving the tuna very rare and pink in the center.
  • Rice Cakes: Steam rice in a rice cooker according to manufacturers instructions. Place rice in a large mixing bowl and add salt, mirin, nori, and rice wine vinegar. Place the rice on a sheet pan lined with plastic wrap. With damp hands press the rice into the pan. Cover the rice with plastic wrap and continue to press the rice until you have an even thickness of rice on the sheet pan. Cut the rice into 3 by 3-inch squares. Pan-fry the rice cakes until golden brown on both sides over medium heat on stovetop. Each side should take between 2 and 3 minutes to brown.
  • Place the salad on each of 4 plates so that it covers the inner plate. Place the fried rice cake in the center of the plate. Smear some wasabi aioli on the cake and add some ginger. Place the sliced tuna on the cake and drizzle the tuna with wasabi aioli, pineapple relish, and sprouts. Garnish with cilantro sprig.
  • Optional: Serve salad with sweet potato shoestrings found at specialty markets. Scatter shoestrings over the salad.
  • Slice pineapple lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Discard pineapple core. Brush both sides of each piece of pineapple lightly with oil and grill both sides. Dice pineapple into 1/4-inch pieces and mix with red bell pepper, ginger, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and black pepper.
  • Mix mayonnaise, wasabi paste, garlic and water in a bowl until smooth.

TEDDY'S MOMMY'S PAN SEARED AHI TUNA WITH WASABI SAUCE



Teddy's Mommy's Pan Seared Ahi Tuna With Wasabi Sauce image

This is a combination of two recipes I found while looking around on the internet. One didn't have the sesame seeds and one had the sauce I wanted. So I mixed ideas. If your tuna isn't bright red and it flakes apart you won't want to use it for this dish. I am finding if it isn't the right color and isn't fresh it does not taste right. I have purchased steaks in individual plastic packs that have been pre-frozen from the fish counter with good results. In the picture you see it with a vegetable it is Recipe #91301.

Time 30m

Yield 2 steaks, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 ahi tuna steaks, 1/2 lb, 1-inch thick
1/2 cup white sesame seeds, toasted
1 tablespoon coriander seed, crushed (or 1/2 tablespoon coriander powder)
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon oil (vegetable, corn, canola, etc.)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons wasabi paste
1/3 cup soy sauce (I use reduced sodium)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh gingerroot, minced
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup daikon radish, grated use large holes on cheese grater

Steps:

  • Grate Daikon radish first, prep two plates with the radish laid out in a thin layer large enought to place a tuna steak on, leave out so it can get to room temperature (it isn't as good cold).
  • Mix together all sauce ingredients and set them aside.
  • Rinse tuna under cold water and pat dry.
  • Place sesame seeds, coriander, salt, and pepper into a bowl large enough to dip the steaks into. Mix the ingredients well.
  • Dip both sides of steaks into spice mix pressing down lightly to help the spices stick to the steaks.
  • Warm sesame, and regular oil in deep 10" (I use a non-stick) frypan over medium high heat(gas 8) until they're shimmery.
  • Carefully place both steaks into oil.
  • Keep an eye on the side of the steaks, when they start to slightly brown turn them over and brown the other side.
  • When done transfer steaks to cutting board and slice into 1/2" strips.
  • Then place on beds of daikon radish and pour half of sauce over each steak.
  • I usually serve this with a side of jasmine rice, or my recipe for wasabi mashed potatoes.

SEARED AHI TUNA GLAZED WITH WASABI BUTTER



Seared Ahi Tuna Glazed With Wasabi Butter image

I've always loved wasabi with tuna, but usually the wasabi overpowers such a delicate fish. When this recipe came to me through a friend, who doesn't recall its origins, I finally found the perfect marriage of flavors. I can't make this often enough!

Provided by VenomousKate

Categories     Tuna

Time 13m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

24 ounces ahi tuna steaks, around 1-inch thick
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
salt and pepper
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons wasabi paste (the tube kind)
3 green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
lemon slice (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Drizzle sesame oil on both sides of each tuna steaks. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine remaining ingredients in a small sauce pan. Heat over low heat until butter is melted, stirring constantly to mix and prevent scorching.
  • While sauce is heating, heat a heavy frying pan on another burner with high heat. Place tuna in pan and sear until crispy and brown. Turn and sear on the other side.
  • Note: Tuna steak fans who like their tuna on the rare side (like me) will usually find 2 minutes searing time is ample. Folks who like their tuna steaks more well-done (like my DH) may want to sear their tuna for 4-5 minutes per side.
