Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups shredded Napa cabbage
1 cup shredded red cabbage
1 cup green beans, trimmed and thinly sliced lengthwise
1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped pickled ginger
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup canola oil
6 square wonton sheets, cut into 1/8-inch wide strips
2 tablespoons ginger, chopped
2 tablespoons green onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro leaves
1 pound sashimi-grade ahi tuna
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup sesame seeds

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the cabbages, green beans, red bell pepper, pickled ginger, and cilantro. Cover and refrigerate.
  • In a small saucepan heat the canola oil to 325 degrees F and carefully fry the wonton strips for 3 to 4 seconds, until golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the strips to a paper towel to drain. Set aside.
  • For the dressing:
  • In a blender or food processor, blend together the ginger, green onion, garlic, and cilantro.
  • For the Tuna:
  • Coat the tuna with the oil and season with the salt and pepper. On a plate scatter the sesame seeds and press the tuna into the seeds on both sides, gently shaking off the excess.
  • Heat a large grill or saute pan over high heat and sear the tuna for 3 minutes on each side. Remove the fish from the pan and let rest for several minutes before slicing. The tuna will be medium-rare.
  • Toss the vegetables with half of the dressing and mix well. Add half of the wonton strips and gently combine. Mound the slaw onto a platter or indivisual plates. Place the sliced tuna on top of the salad and drizzle the remaining dressing on top. Garnish with the remaining wonton strips.

SEARED SESAME-CRUSTED AHI TUNA



Seared Sesame-Crusted Ahi Tuna image

I have tried several different recipes for making ahi tuna and was disappointed every time. So I have blended several things about other recipes to create this. I'm sure this isn't completely original, but it is original to me. This can be served as a main course with some rice and asparagus (or stir-fry vegetables) or as an appetizer. I like a little soy sauce for dipping, but there are many other spicier dipping sauces you could use.
