  Soy sauce and tuna is a brilliant combination. Also good if you substitute the soy for teriyaki sauce.

  Really-really nice! I wish I had more onion though. 2 bunches of it next time! I was a bit careful with ginger. Will be much more generous with it next time as well!

  I tried this tonight! I'm a poor cook, but I made a passable effort and my usually unimpressed partner was highly appreciative. Thank you!

  Very tasty except think soy sauce quantity is too much, very salty, will try again with maybe only half the soy quantity. Ginger with the sweet potato excellent

  This was really good. An excellent end result with very little effort. If I made this again, I would use 2 bunches of spring onions as they seem to shrink away when cooked but they taste lovely.

  Absolutely delicious!! This was a "splurge" menu for us (tuna is expensive!), but it was worth every penny. I used a bit less soy sauce, and really felt that it could almost be a recipe for four people. The combination of the sweet and savory in the sweet potato and the soy sauce is wonderful, and the tuna is decadent. I would definitely go with more onions next time, and might add the soy sauce to the pan when cooking the onions so that it reduces a bit.

  Staggered how easy and good this is. Followed the advice and doubled the spring onions. I served with griddled cherry tomatoes and spinach. I've now done twice and can happily report this works just as well with salmon (although obviously takes longer to cook) which is currently a third of the price of tuna at our local supermarket.

  Really quick and easy to make, the ginger sweet potato mash was delicious and went really well with the tuna and soy sauce.

  Gorgeous, added the spring onions at the end as we prefer them with a bit of crunch!

  I loved this. Found that one bunch of spring onions wasn't enough so next time I'll use two.
