This comforting dish is quick and easy to assemble. I was inspired to make it because of the several months of cabin fever longing for some Asian flavours. I looked in the pantry and the fridge and had most items, so I only had to do one small trip to the market to find Coriander and wasabi. It has hints of Ginger and Sesame Oil, wasabi paste and a touch of Coriander that gives it an International flair. Prepare it on a cool day, predominantly for fall and winter months. Preparation is easy, low labour intensified, and great results. It can be served with rice or any other side. Cheers & Saludos! The Capt’n.

Recipe Notes
I use light meat tuna because it is not a dry as white meat tuna.
Serve with Jost Tidal Bay from Nova Scotia or a light white wine.
