  Quick and quite simple, need to take care the sesame seeds don't burn and spoil the appearance. Will do again.

  I think this is really tasty and have made it a couple of times. The second time I didn't cut the tuna into cubes, I cut it into strips and covered those in sesame seeds and fried it, and then cut it into cubes after that.

  These were surprisingly easy - I thought the seeds were going to stick to the pan but they didn't - instead they acted like popcorn and gave me a good spattering! Would suggest making the cucumber slices a bit chunkier as they kind of disappeared on me.

  Very nice and easy to do. Take care not to over cook the tuna otherwise they go really tough - about 20 seconds each side was ample. Also cut the tuna into strips, fried that then cut into cubes which made cooking them a bit easier.
