Wasabi Beurre Blanc

Method

Preparation

1

Cook the Rice

In a medium saucepan, combine the Carolina Gold rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

2

Prepare the Bok Choy

In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add chopped bok choy and vegetable broth, cover, and braise for about 5-7 minutes until tender.

3

Cook the Tuna

Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Dip the tuna steaks in soy sauce, then coat with sesame seeds. Sear the tuna for 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or until desired doneness.

4

Make the Wasabi Beurre Blanc

In a saucepan, combine white wine and minced shallots. Reduce over medium heat until the liquid is almost evaporated. Lower the heat, add the butter gradually while whisking, and stir in the wasabi paste until well combined.
