guys welcome to paradise
I'm here in the middle of the Maldives on Laamu Atoll and this spot is
amazing right, this is so beautiful and this country is famous for its fantastic
tuna so therefore today I'll make you a sesame seared tuna steak with a crunchy
nice fresh salad Japanese style
guys let's make it happen here we have the beautiful yellow fin tuna steak so
pretty I'm going to cut the loin in some beautiful rectangular steaks so guys first
I've here some vegetable oil and you just use a tiny bit on all sides of your tuna steak
here have some black and white sesame seeds and we're going to turn the tuna through the sesame seed
So I've turned up the high heat medium-high heat
to roast the tuna so guys time to sear the tuna
we give each side like 30 seconds 1 minute it needs to be crunchy from the outside
still tender and juicy from the inside whilst keeping its colour right turn around
first time ninety degrees thirty seconds later and I'll turn it again for the third
side and the last one side number four now I take out the tuna and I put it here
and now important guys I'm here in 32 degrees 33 actually today and don't
have a fridge here but what you do at home now you cool it down immediately in
your fridge because then the cooking process will stop immediately and you
will have its still nice color from the inside so this will be like a hundred
mean I don't care I'd like to talk a bit about tuna because we should care
about our oceans we should care about the tuna stocks so many places
around the globe tuna is endangered its overfished but not here in the Maldives
this is the only country in the world where they have this law that you
only can catch your tuna or your fish with a pole and a line
one man one poll one hook one fish which means that this fish is MSC certified so
it has his blue eco-label where it proves its sustainability going to
cook this amount of sugar snaps this amount of asparagus tips and take off
end parts so I'm going to cook these in some dashi stock which is Benito flag
actually but you can cook them at home with some water and salt too so don't
worry I add these to the stock and
dressing three teaspoons of soy sauce and grated ginger like maybe one teaspoon garlic
one clove I'm going to chop it really fine now add some mirin, Japanese cook wine it sweet
perfect, veggies are ready so take them out and also here if you are at home in your
kitchen use now some running cold water to cool them down and again I don't have
the possibility here but still it will taste really good, next step cucumbera and
kitchen use now some running cold water to cool them down and again I don't have
the possibility here but still it will taste really good, next step cucumbers, nice strips
some spring onion I like to have them a bit diagonal and some radish! So I have no bowl so what I do I use
my pan I add the cooked sugar snaps and asparagus tips I've even some bean sprouts here I
mix some roughly chopped coriander through the salad, going to add this dressing like
this and I now the hero ingredient the seared tuna
in white and black sesame seeds, look at this tuna beautiful and this is what I
already expected in the first place the tuna was not that red because
it's a small tuna but because we didn't have the possibility here to cool
it down as you have at home so do it so it went a bit through the
cooking process but still it's delicious still it's juicy inside I can taste for
you beautiful combination with sesame seeds it's really good but here outside
33 degrees which influences the cooking process but it's all fine to me we're
going to build this nice plate, now we top it off with the hero ingredient
