3 tbsp sesame seeds
2 tsp sesame oil

DRESSING

1 tbsp miso paste
1 tbsp rice vinegar
a thumb-sized piece ginger, grated

SALAD

1 little gem lettuce, cored and cut into chunky pieces
100g sugar snap peas
a handful radishes, quartered
75g edamame
½ red onion, finely sliced
1 red chilli, finely chopped
½ a small pack coriander, torn

Method

STEP 1
For the dressing, put the miso into a bowl and add 50ml of cold water, whisking to dissolve. Stir in the rice vinegar, ginger and some seasoning.
STEP 2
Tip all of the salad ingredients into a large bowl, then toss gently with the dressing.
STEP 3
Cut the tuna steaks into 3cm fingers, then put the sesame seeds onto a plate and roll over the tuna pieces to cover all the sides.
STEP 4
Heat the sesame oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the tuna pieces for 30 seconds on each side, just to sear and toast the sesame seeds.
STEP 5
Divide the salad between two plates and serve with the tuna on top.
