Oscar Small Bite...Asian Tuna & Slaw Mini Cup

This is so cute and delicious!

A word about measurements and ingredients...

I will give you enough in this recipe to make at least 16 cups or more...the slaw shrinks when you add the sauce so you may get more... this sauce recipe will be very generous, you may have leftover to eat with chicken, steak , or fish for dinner during the week.

I use the frozen Sashimi Grade Tuna in the frozen food section of Costco.

Frozen is a key in this recipe, it will give you a little more working time and will be nice and chilled for service.

I always keep this tuna in my freezer, it is great when you want some fish and haven't had a chance to go the market.

You can sear the fish 2 ways....in a hot skillet, a panini press, or even a George Foreman Grill.

The fish:

3 Tuna steaks from the package

Toasted Sesame Oil

Black or White Toasted Sesame Seeds

The Tuna steaks will be individually packaged, run them under cold water for a few seconds

Cut them open

Even though they are frozen rub all over with Sesame Oil and sprinkle liberally with the Sesame Seeds and give the seeds a good press with your fingers.

If you are using a skillet make sure it is hot and only cook the fish 1-2 minutes on each side...if you are using the panini or Foreman cook with lid down for about 2-3 minutes You only want to sear it...it will still be frozen inside this is what we want.

Set fish aside.

For the Slaw:

16 oz bag of Cole Slaw Mix

3 Tbls of Honey

1/2 Cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce

1 Heaping Tsp Pre-minced Ginger

1/2 Tsp Granulated Garlic

Wasabi Paste or Wasabi Dressing/Sauce

Black or White Toasted Sesame Seeds

Put Cole Slaw Mix into a bowl

In another bowl whisk all the sauce ingredients well

Pour just enough sauce over Slaw to moisten

Toss

Take the Tuna to a cutting board and cut it into small cubes as in the picture. Being so cold it will be very easy to cut.

Put the Tuna cubes into a bowl and pour some sauce over to coat and give a gentle toss covering all the fish.

Put portions of the slaw into mini bowls or small containers & top with a portion of Tuna cubes.

Sprinkle with the Sesame seeds and top with a dollop of Wasabi.

Get creative with your serving pieces!
