Tuna tataki with Asian rice salad

John and I bought a “previously frozen” tuna steak today. It was about 13 oz. and enough for us to split three ways. John used this recipe from Food Network as a basis for making the lightly seared tuna. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tuna-tataki-recipe-1940352. He used less ginger, black pepper and oil. I took care of the salad part of the recipe.

In addition I made the Asian rice salad from a recipe I found at “The Spruce Eats” https://www.thespruceeats.com/cold-asian-rice-salad-with-veggies-3377789. Much like John I cut the amount of oil. I used less sugar as well. At some point I just kept tasting the dressing adding a little more sesame oil, a little more vinegar, and then a dash of soy sauce. I also put in some minced jalapeño for a little zing and chopped mango for sweetness.

This is our first time making either of these recipes but it will not be the last. Everything was delicious!
