    This is a quick and easy meal to prepare and I will definitely make it again. It wasn't that exciting on the flavor scale I would recommend adding some crunch to it. I topped it w/ some crispy Asian noodles at the end.

    I put the veggies for one minute into the Wok, that helped opening up the marinade. Delicious! The tuna I cut in slices to avoid drying out as I don't like raw food.

    I liked the tuna encrusted w/ sesame oil - somebody commented that the sesame seeds on the fish didn't add much flavor. I only used white seeds and added some sesame oil mixed w/ canola oil in the frying pan - and seasoned the fish w/ salt after. The flavor was great and the seeds added a nice texture contrast to the fish. The salad was also tasty - I added a bit of hot oil which gave it a bit of hum. Lastly, I ran out of fish oil so mashed a few anchovies with soy sauce- which worked okay as a quick substitute... This is a great, tasty and healthy week night meal!

    I thought the salad was just spot on and simply preparing the tuna lets a nice piece of tuna speak for its self

    The salad was really good... it just needed a pop. Green onions or (my preference sliced fresh jalapenos would have been perfect. The tuna was good but the sesame seed crust was unexciting - basically I felt like I could have eaten the tuna plain and had the same basic taste. For $20 a pound, I'd like to see something more exciting out of Ahi.

    I was looking for something "skinny" to eat along with some leftover roasted pork. I saw this show, and thought the salad sounded easy and good. After I combined and tasted the dressing ingredients for correctness, and thought about the fresh herbs in the recipe, I realized that it reminded me of my favorite Vietnamese chicken salad that I get when I go out. So, with that, I added the leftover pork to the salad, as well as some chopped peanuts. I had to add some red pepper flakes, too, as I like spicy food. I did not have Napa cabbage, but the plain ol' green variety tasted great. I was quite pleased to have "come up" with such an enjoyable lunch.

    This is a wonderful, easy, tasty recipe. And my husband loves it, too. The flavors in the Napa Cabbage Salad are complex and wonderful (mmmmm....fresh mint and basil and cilantro and dark sesame oil...the salad is so flavorful!. And searing the ahi with sesame seeds on the outside is so easy, tasty, and makes an elegant presentation. I am now making this recipe regularly for dinner.
