Method

Preparing the Tuna

  1. 1

    Searing the Tuna

    Heat a skillet over high heat. Season the Ahi tuna steak with salt and pepper. Once the skillet is hot, add the tuna and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or until the desired doneness is reached.

  2. 2

    Resting the Tuna

    Remove the seared tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Making the Cucumber Slaw

  1. 3

    Preparing the Vegetables

    Julienne the cucumber and carrot into thin strips. Place them in a bowl.

  2. 4

    Mixing the Slaw

    In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and salt. Pour this dressing over the cucumber and carrot, and toss to combine. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to marinate.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 5

    Layering the Ingredients

    On a plate, place the nori sheets as a base. Add a portion of the cucumber slaw on top, followed by the sliced Ahi tuna.

  2. 6

    Serving

    Drizzle soy sauce over the dish and serve with wasabi and pickled ginger on the side for added flavor.
