Seared Ahi Tuna Rolls

Original wasabi-soy sauce can be found here.

For the spicy mayo:

1/2 cup mayonaise

1/8 cup Siracha/ hot chili sauce

3 tsp. lemon/ lime juice

1 tsp. sesame oil

1 tsp. soy sauce

Wasabi (I used a pea sized amount)

For the wasabi-soy dressing:

1 lime, juiced and zested

1 tbsn. rice vinegar

2 tsp. soy sauce

2 tbsn. sesame oil

1 tbsn. sugar

1 tsp. fresh minced ginger

1 tsp. fresh minced garlic

1 tsp. coarse black pepper

1 tsp. wasabi or wasabi powder

In a shallow dish, combine equal parts of white and black sesame seeds, enough to coat both sides of the fish (about 1 tbsn. each). Pat dry the tuna then lightly season with salt. Coat each sides of the fish in the sesame seeds, set aside. In a large saucepan, add the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat until hot. Once hot, add the tuna and sear both sides of the tuna, about 1 - 2 minutes each side. Remove from the pan and let rest until cool. Once cool, slice into 1/2 cm inch pieces. Take a piece of rice paper and wet under warm water and place on a clean surface. Once moist, add some romaine lettuce, mint leaves, 1 - 2 pieces of seared tuna, 1 - 2 slices of avocado, 1 - 2 pieces of green mango and 1 - 2 pieces of cucumber.

To make the spicy mayo, combine everything until smooth, adding more or less of anything to suit your taste. To make the soy dressing, mix everything until well combined, adding more or less of anything to suit your taste. Serve the spring roll with both sauces, side by side or mixed together. Enjoy!

Crunchy green mango, crisp lettuce, velvety smooth tuna and chewy rice paper, what more could you want?

I love spring rolls.
