1 medium carrot (2 ounces), peeled and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons minced fresh peeled ginger (about a 2-inch piece)
2 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 to 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon tamari or soy sauce
4 tablespoons canola oil, divided

The tuna was a bit overcooked for my taste. I would have preferred it to be cooked for a shorter amount of time.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my liking. I would have preferred a more savory sauce.

This dish was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different type of fish.

Followed the recipe and the tuna came out great! The carrot ginger sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, so I added a little bit of lemon juice to balance it out. Overall, a great dish.
