Open sesame! It's not our most original joke, but this is one of our more original dishes, with our new favorite protein, tuna, as the star of the show. This meaty, amazing fish is decked out with sesame seeds, giving its exterior a texture that's sublime. But that's not the only unique aspect of this meal. You'll make slaw and edamame pancakes that's awesomely original, plus a spicy, earthy mayo for dipping. (Dipping what? Anything you want!) Close sesame! Now, that's an original punchline.

1 Prepare Ingredients and Make Sauce
Trim and mince white portions of green onions. Thinly slice green portions of green onions. Keep white and green portions separate.
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sambal (to taste), mayonnaise, white portions of green onions, and 2 tsp. water . Set aside.Pat tuna dry, and top both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper and sesame seeds, pressing gently to adhere. -
2 Make the Pancake Batter
In another mixing bowl, combine tempura mix, miso, 1/4 cup water, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth, like a thin pancake batter. If too thick, add water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Stir in slaw mix and edamame until combined. -
3 Cook the Pancakes
Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 3 Tbsp. olive oil. Heat oil, 5 minutes.
While oil heats, line a plate with paper towel.After 5 minutes, test oil temperature by adding a drop of batter to it. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, turn heat down and let oil cool. If it doesn't brown, increase heat.Working in batches if necessary, carefully add four 1/2 cup scoops of pancake batter to hot oil and gently flatten into thin pancakes. Cook undisturbed until crisp and browned, 3-4 minutes per side.Remove pancakes to towel-lined plate.While pancakes cook, cook tuna. -
4 Cook the Tuna
Place another large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.
Add tuna to hot pan and cook until tuna reaches desired doneness, 1-2 minutes per side for medium-rare (some pink in the center). Consuming raw or undercooked tuna may increase your risk for food-borne illness.Remove from burner. -
5 Finish the Dish
Slice tuna if desired.
