1
Marinate the Tuna
In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Add the Ahi tuna steaks and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2
Cook the Tuna
Heat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the tuna from the marinade and grill or sear it for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness.
3
Prepare the Coconut Rice
In a pot, combine 1 cup of jasmine rice, 1 cup of coconut milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and stir in chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
4
Serve
Plate the Ahi tuna alongside the coconut rice and garnish with additional sesame seeds and scallions as desired.
