Sesame Tuna with Asian Wild Rice - Dinner #10


Sesame Tuna with Asian Wild Rice

1)  Make one cup of "wild rice mix" - melt 1 T butter, add 1 1/2 cup water, 1 T soy sauce, and rice to saucepan.  Bring to boil, stir, reduce heat and cook for 15-20 minutes.  Cover and set aside while you chop...1/2 cup green onion.  Add 1 can of diced water chestnuts, 1/2 cup frozen petite peas and the green onion.  I also added some pine nuts (optional).  Cover and cook your tuna.

2) The tuna cooks very fast and you want it to be pink...just seared.  Put sesame seeds on a plate and coat each side of your tuna.  Heat sesame oil in a skillet...should be hot but don't burn it.  Place tuna in pan until you get a crisp sear (about 2 minutes or less) and then turn over and do the same.  Serve with your choice of wasabi sauce or mustard.
