There’s nothing like the texture and taste of fresh grilled or seared tuna. The key is not to overcook it. In fact, serving it slightly rare is the only way to go! You can substitute another firm fish, chicken, pork or tofu for the tuna in this dish. The light coconut milk and hoisin makes for a creamy, Asian-style sauce.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. To make the sauce, whisk the coconut milk, hoisin sauce, honey, oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, garlic and ginger in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.

2. Spray a non-stick skillet or grill pan with cooking oil and heat to high. Cook the tuna just until seared on both sides but still rare on the inside, about 3 minutes. Immediately remove from the skillet. Cut into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

3. Spray a non-stick skillet or wok with cooking oil and place over high heat. Add the red pepper and peas and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add the sauce and stir-fry for 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Add the tuna at the last minute and toss, being careful not to overcook the tuna.

4. Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with green onion, cilantro and sesame seeds.
