Product Used
Directions
- Combine sesame seeds, mirin, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar in a jar and, using a hand blender, puree until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste. This can also be prepared with a small food processor or ground in a mortar and pestle with most of the liquid added towards the end.
- In a pot filled with boiling salted water, blanch green beans until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Cool in a bowl of iced water or under a cold running tap, then drain and pat dry. Cut in half, lengthwise on a bias.
- In a mixing bowl, combine green beans and sesame dressing and mix well to coat. Gently fold in tuna and adjust seasoning to taste.
- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with a few extra toasted sesame seeds, julienned green onions and finely sliced radish.
