Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh ahi tuna steak
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 8 pieces Rice paper wrappers
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, julienned
- 16 pieces Fresh mint leaves
- 16 pieces Fresh cilantro leaves
- 8 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Season the tuna steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna for 1-2 minutes on each side, depending on desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Prepare a clean surface for rolling the spring rolls. Fill a shallow dish with warm water to soften the rice paper wrappers.
Submerge one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 10-15 seconds until pliable, then place it on a damp kitchen towel or cutting board.
Layer a few pieces of carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, 2 mint leaves, 2 cilantro leaves, 1 basil leaf, and a slice of tuna onto the lower third of the wrapper.
Fold the sides of the wrapper inward, then tightly roll from the bottom, enclosing the filling completely. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
To make the dipping sauce, combine soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, honey, and grated ginger in a small bowl. Stir well to blend.
Serve the tuna spring rolls on a platter with the lime soy sauce on the side. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired for garnish.
