Tuna crust is amazing
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Let me preface this by saying that I am that person who loves to cook, but hates going to the store - thus, I substitue in... recipes. A lot. However, I found the staples in this recipe to be wonderful: First, the tuna. I subbed ground red pepper for the 5-spice, and the taste is wonderful, but with my skillet on high, this tuna smoked up my entire apartment in less than a minute - my cats are still walking around with their eyes closed - sorry kitties! Don't know if it was the pepper or not, but I had to turn back the heat - did anyone else have this problem? Also, even with the heat on medium, two minutes on each side, the tuna came our medium, a little over-done for my taste. However, the flavor of the crust was amazing, even if the center was a little dry. Now, for the dressing - the stated measurements definitely make enough for one person. Per the contents of my generous fridge, my salad consisted simply of spinach and red onion, but the dressing was so good I drank the left-overs (I made a double batch, while keeping the oil at 3 tablespoons). I did add white wine vinegar instead of rice (didn't have any), but it was still delicious! Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this recipe - perhaps the next time will be even better if I use the correct ingredients! :)Read more

Wa Wa Wa Wasabi ,,,,,
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Rach, here's our take on this family favorite. Make a double batch of vinaigrette, REALLY COAT that ahi (love the 5 spice... with S & P), get a great crust on it, slice it, plate it! Don't need anything else but hubby and a little vino. We enjoy this 3 times a month, never had ahi tuna until I found this recipe, thanks for sharing it!!!!!!!!Read more

Dressing is lacking
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The tuna is actually delicious. I would not make any changes, but make sure to add enough salt, or else the salad becomes... incredibly bland. I found the dressing to be awful. Try this alternative--it's much better: 3 cloves garlic minced 2 tbsp minced fresh ginger root 3/4C sesame oil 1/3C vinegar 1/2C soy sauce 3 tbps honey 1/4C water Mix well!Read more
