Preparation

1. Mix vinegar and 2 tablespoons water with green onion and ginger in a bowl. Place tuna in mixture, and marinate about an hour.
2. To cook, remove tuna from marinade; set marinade aside. Press sesame seeds into both sides of tuna. Heat nonstick pan to medium, and add oil. Quickly sear tuna on both sides, just a couple of minutes — seeds brown quickly. Remove tuna from pan, pour in reserved marinade, and bring to a boil. Pour over tuna, and serve.

• Tuna will be very rare. For better done, cook it without sesame seeds and sprinkle them over the tuna after cooking.
