Sesame seared Tuna with soy sauce

This dish can be made well ahead of time so that you don't need to stress last minute. Rather enjoy a glass of wine with the guests I would suggest. This recipe well be enough for 6 persons as a starter.

Ingredients;

Tuna;

1 pound raw tuna
3 tbs chopped cilantro
3 tbs chopped parsley
3 tbs roasted sesame seeds
1,5 tbs lime peel, chopped
salt and pepper


Cut the tuna in strips 1,5 x 1,5 inch and rub them with salt and pepper. Give them a quick fry in vegetable oil on all sides (only about 20 sec. on each side). 
Chop the herbs and combine with the sesame seeds and lime peel. Add the herbs to some glad squares (same amounts as yours tuna strips, divide the herb mixture among the glad squares). Put one strip of tuna on each glad square and cover with the herbs then wrap in the square. You can now put it in the refrigerator until serving time, at least one hour. 

Sauce;

1/2 cup Ketjap manis (sweet soy sauce)
1/2 lime, juice and peel
1 tsp minced ginger
1tsp finely chopped red chili
1 tbs chopped cilantro
1 tsp minced garlic
2 tbsp regular soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil

Combine all ingredients. Let stand about 10 minutes and it is ready to be served.

Remove tuna from refrigerator and cut in thin slices. Arrange on a plate with the soy sauce and perhaps some arugula or another salad if you prefer.
