Ingredients

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon Chinese mustard
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1/2 cup canola oil
1 1/2 pounds Ahi tuna loin, cut in 4 strips
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
1/3 cup sesame seeds
1 bunch mizuna greens
1 bunch arugula greens
3 cups torn red leaf lettuce
3 cups torn green leaf lettuce
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup fried rice noodles
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1 navel orange, peeled and sectioned

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, soy sauce, lime, ginger, mustard and cilantro. Pour in the oil and continue to whisk until emulsified.

Season the tuna fillets with salt and pepper; lightly coat with oil. Put sesame seeds on a plate. Coat top and bottom of each fillet with seeds. Heat a large, dry skillet over high heat. Add fillets; cook about 3 minutes. Turn; cook until desired doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes for rare. Slice the tuna into 1-inch thick strips.

Mix the greens together and spread out on a platter. Add the green onions, rice noodles almonds, and orange segments. Lay the tuna strips on top then drizzle with the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Awesome...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Wonderful combination of tastes. When making the vinaigrette use the freshest ingredients possible (i.e., fresh lime juice,... not the bottled stuff). During the summer I'll quickly sear the ahi on the grill rather than in a pan. This is a friend & family favorite and so easy to make.Read more

Fantastic
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the best seared tuna I've had, even in restaurants. Very easy, full of crunch, salty, tangy and sweetness. My... husbands favorite and one recipe that gets asked for over and over. You MUST have the highest grade tuna you can find. Wonderful!Read more

This is professional level!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was born in Tokyo, Japan, and lived there for nearly 30 years. In Japan, most restaurants keep several common salad... dressings. One is Shoyu (Soysauce)dressing and another is Chuka (Chinese) dressing. This recipe tasts somewhere between, and is very yummy even for my Japanese palate! I'm very happy to have acquired this recipe. Thank you! Now, the first "rice wine vinegar" is not clear to me. Rice wine? Rice vinegar? Sushi vinegar? If it was in Japanese, I would have had no problem. So, I combined 3 Tbsp rice vinegar and 1 Tbsp Mirin (Sweet cooking seasoning:rice wine+vinegar+syrup; used very frequently in many Japanese cooking). It worked perfectly for me. In Japan, people frequently use technique called "kakushi aji" meaning hidden taste. For example, adding a dash of sugar into salty dish, or salt into sweet dish. To me, it is more natural to add a pinch of sugar in this recipe if I didn't use Mirin. If you want to arrange it more like Japanese dressing by using only rice vinegar, I think adding a pinch of suger is a good idea.Read more
