Preparation method

How do you make this?

Tuna: Marinate the tuna for 1 hour in 1 cm of soy sauce, turning occasionally.

Pat your tuna dry, brush with a thin layer of egg white, and season with pepper and salt.

Then roll the tuna in the sesame seeds, pressing them in well.

Heat 3 tbsp of margarine in a frying pan, fry the tuna steak for 1 minute on both sides. Remove from the pan, place on kitchen paper, and cut into slices of about a centimeter.

Salad: Slice the cucumber thinly with a mandoline—or with a grater—very finely.

Place in a sieve to remove any excess moisture, mix with the finely chopped spring onion and coriander.

Sauce: Mix all the ingredients together.

If you like it spicy, add a chili pepper.

Arrange the tuna with the cucumber and the sauce on a platter or on separate plates.
