Asian Ahi Tuna Sandwich Recipes

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.

Steps:

• 1. Slice each tuna steak in half horizontally so you end up with four thin steaks (more bang for your buck!). 2. Rub them with the peanut oil and ginger. 3. Set a large, nonstick skillet over high heat. When it’s hot, cook the tuna steaks for 20-30 seconds on each side or until just seared. 4. Whisk together the mayo, shoyu and sesame oil. 5. Meanwhile, grill or toast the bread and drizzle with a little bit of olive oil. Spread the soy and sesame mayo on one side of each slice and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper. 6. Distribute the tuna and arugula evenly on four slices of bread and sandwich with the remaining four slices. For Soy & Sesame Mayo: Whisk everything together. Devour.
