I have a memory of seeing a recipe in which 1 inch cubes of
tuna are seasoned with Asian flavors and then deep fried
briefly so the outside is crisp and the inside is still raw.
Durned if I can find it, can anyone help?

Thanks,

I did some searching and could not come up with anything, but I devised
the following which turned out very good.

Yellowfin or other tuna cut into 1 inch cubes
1/2 c Japanese soy sauce
1 tsp wasabi powder
1/2 tsp honey
Potato starch or corn starch

Mix the soy sauce and wasabi powder and brush on the tuna. Let sit for
1/2 hour. Dissolve the honey in the remaining soy/wasabi mixture - this
is your dipping sauce.

Roll the cubes in the potato starch, shake off the excess, and deep fry
at 375 degrees for 30 seconds or less. You want a crispy exterior with
the center still red. Drain and serve.

OH! That sounds heavenly!
I've got to dig through my spices. I'm sure I have Wasabi powder.
I can't wait to try it.

Thank you for sharing your recipe!
