This is one of our favorite ways to have fresh ahi. I usually add a little more wasabi - but then we love that stuff, lol. I also cook it less time than recommended here because we like it that way and I usually add some sesame seeds as garnish. Ingredients:
1/2 cup water |
3 tablespoons wasabi powder (horseradish powder) |
1/3 cup reduced sodium soy sauce |
3 tablespoons peanut oil |
1 tablespoon dry sherry |
1 1/2 teaspoons oriental sesame oil |
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced |
4 green onions, very thinly sliced |
4 ahi tuna steaks (each about 1 inch thick) |
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, cut into matchstick-size strips |
1/2 cup radish sprouts |
Directions:
1. Whisk 1/2 cup water and wasabi powder in medium bowl to form smooth paste.
2. Whisk in soy sauce, 2 tablespoons peanut oil, sherry, sesame oil and ginger.
3. Stir in green onions.
4. Set aside.
5. Sprinkle tuna with salt and pepper.
6. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil in heavy large skillet over high heat.
7. Add tuna and sear until opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side.
8. Spoon cucumber onto center of plates.
9. Top with tuna.
10. Spoon sauce around.
11. Garnish with radish sprouts.
