Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine all the spice-paste ingredients in a deep bowl and stir with a wooden spoon for 5 minutes. Set aside. Season the tuna with salt and pepper and sprinkle it with the lime juice. Add the oil and tuna to the hot pan and cook for about 6 minutes per side. Remove from the heat, cover the pan and allow the tuna to cool.

  2. Step 2

    When cooled, break the tuna into chunks and transfer it to a large, nonreactive bowl. Add the spice paste and toss. Allow to sit for ½ hour, or covered and refrigerated overnight. Serve with warm rice on the side.
