Seared “rare” with jasmine rice, stir-fry & crispy wontons

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine 1 cup of rice with 1.5 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to low heat. Cook for 15 minutes, then remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Prepare the Jasmine Rice

Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the wonton wrappers until they are golden and crispy on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Wontons

Season the ahi tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Press sesame seeds onto both sides of the steaks. Heat a non-stick skillet over high heat and add a splash of sesame oil. Sear the tuna for about 1-2 minutes on each side, ensuring the inside remains rare. Remove from heat and let rest.

Sear the Ahi Tuna

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and the mixed vegetables. Stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Add soy sauce and stir to coat the vegetables.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables

On a plate, serve a portion of jasmine rice, top with the seared sesame crusted ahi tuna, and add a side of stir-fried vegetables. Garnish with crispy wontons.
