Method

Mix all the dressing ingredients in a bowl, excluding the tuna.

Marinate the tuna in the mixture for several minutes before removing and reserving the liquid.

Sear the tuna in a hot griddle pan for 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Simmer the reserved dressing in a small saucepan over gentle heat.

Warm the courgette ribbons in a pan with sesame oil and top with sesame seeds.

Plate the rice with the tuna and courgettes, then drizzle over the warm dressing.
