Method
Salad Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Tuna
Heat a skillet over high heat. Season the yellowfin tuna with salt and pepper. Sear the tuna for about 1-2 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until a crust forms but the inside remains rare. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
- 2
Prepare the Mango and Avocado
While the tuna is resting, peel and dice the mango and avocado into bite-sized pieces.
- 3
Chop the Cilantro
Rinse the cilantro, pat it dry, and chop roughly.
- 4
Prepare the Gyoza Strips
If using pre-made crispy gyoza strips, simply set aside. If making from scratch, fry gyoza wrappers in hot oil until crispy, then drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Salad
In a large bowl, combine the diced mango, avocado, chopped cilantro, and peanuts. Slice the seared tuna into thin strips and add it to the bowl. Toss gently to combine.
