Quick Dinner or Appetizer: Wasabi Coated Tuna


What to eat when you have been working all day and don’t feel like spending time in the kitchen?!?! For me fish is always the answer. Since  it had been a while since I ate some tuna, I decided to go for tuna. When I eat tuna, I always like it a bit spicy, and since my brother-in-law had brought me some wasabi from his latest trip to Japan. I thought it would be a good dressing for my tuna.

Ingredients for 1 person: 1 tuna steak, wasabi powder, salt and pepper, peanut oil, 2 tbsp of mayonnaise, and 2 tbsp of wasabi sauce.

In a small bowl, add 2 tbsp of mayonnaise and 2 tbsp of wasabi, mix well and set aside. Season the tuna with salt and pepper by sprinkling it on both sides of the tuna steak. Then coat the tuna with wasabi powder. Place 1 tbsp of peanut oil in a small frying pan, and heat it up. When the oil is getting hot, sear the tuna on either side for 1 minute per side. Remove the steak from the frying pan, and cut it in small strips. Drizzle the wasabi over the tuna and eat it up…

Bon Appetit and Happy Cooking!!!
