Ingredients

  • 2 tsp. sesame seeds
  • 240 g. pack yellowfin tuna steaks
  • 4 sprays olive oil
  • 150 g. tofu
  • 1 tsp. Chinese rice vinegar
  • 1 lime, plus wedges to serve
  • half tsp. wasabi paste or powder, or to taste
  • 100 g. cucumber
  • 2 wholemeal baps, halved and toasted
  • 2 tbsp. sushi ginger
  • 75 g. pack pea shoots

Directions

  1. Place the sesame seeds on a plate. Press the tuna into the seeds to coat.
  2. Warm a frying pan with spray oil over a high heat. When hot, add the tuna and cook for 2 minutes on each side for rare, or 4 minutes each side for well done.
  3. Meanwhile, to make the ‘mayo’, place the tofu, rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon lime juice, wasabi and seasoning in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
  4. Using a vegetable peeler, cut the cucumber into long thin strips. Spread some ‘mayo’ on the cut sides of the baps.
  5. Top with the tuna, followed by the cucumber, ginger and pea shoots.
  6. Serve immediately with wedges of lime to squeeze over and any remaining mayo on the side.
