Rice Krispiesandtrade Tuna With Cucumber Salad And Hoisin Lime Sauce Recipes

RICE KRISPIESANDTRADE; TUNA WITH CUCUMBER SALAD AND HOISIN-LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• For the tuna:
• Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat for 8 minutes. In a bowl, combine the crushed KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES, ground ginger, salt, and pepper, to taste. Coat the outside of the tuna steaks with the cereal mixture. Put the vegetable oil in the hot pan and swirl to coat, and then sear the tuna on all sides, until the coating just turns brown in color, about 2 minutes per side. This should cook the tuna perfectly with the inside remaining rare. Remove the pan from the heat.
• For the cucumber salad:
• Cut the ends off the cucumber, and then cut it into thirds. On a mandolin slicer with fine teeth in the blade, and using the hand guard, grate the cucumber pieces in a long motion. This will make cool cucumber noodle looking strands. Repeat with the remaining cucumber pieces. Put the rice noodles into a bowl and pour the boiling water over them until covered. Let noodles soak until soft and a little chewy. Drain and rinse in cold water. Cut the rice noodles down to about the same length as the cucumber and put them together in a bowl. Add the lime juice, cilantro, soy sauce, some pepper; and hoisin. Toss to combine.
• For the sauce:
• Whisk together the hoisin sauce, lime juice, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, and honey, to taste. Season the sauce with salt, and pepper, to taste.
• On each plate, place a swirled pile of the cucumber salad. Slice the tuna on a slight angle and lay over the salad. Spoon some of the hoisin-lime sauce over the top and dig in.

PEPPERED TUNA WITH ASIAN GUACAMOLE AND HOISIN DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the star anise and peppercorns in a small, dry skillet over medium-high heat until you can smell the pepper when standing over the pan, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and cool. Grind in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Combine the soy sauce and 1 tablespoon oil, and brush the mixture on all sides of the tuna. Sprinkle the tuna lightly on all sides with the peppercorn mixture and salt. Let it stand for 15 minutes, or refrigerate for several hours.
• To cook the tuna, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, then sear the tuna for about 2 minutes on each side, just until rare to medium-rare (the sides will be browned, but the tuna will still feel slightly soft when pressed). Transfer it to a plate to cool.
• To serve, cut the tuna into 1/8-inch-thick slices and divide it among the plates. Serve with a spoonful of guacamole and a ramekin of dipping sauce.
• Place the avocado, cucumber, radishes, ginger, sesame oil, peanut oil, lime juice, scallions, cilantro, and wasabi in a bowl, add salt and chile paste, to taste, and stir just until combined. Taste for seasoning and add more lime, salt, or chile paste as desired.
• Combine the ingredients and whisk together or puree in a blender.
