I'm not a big fan of tuna, but I thought this recipe was surprisingly good. The tuna was cooked perfectly and the slaw was very refreshing.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The tuna was cooked well and the slaw was tasty. However, I found that the dish was a bit too oily for my liking.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I found that it needed a few tweaks to suit my taste. I added some extra garlic and ginger to the marinade, and I used a different type of slaw dressing.

I had some trouble getting the tuna to sear properly. It ended up being a bit overcooked.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili sauce next time.

This sesame seared tuna with vegetable slaw was an absolute delight! The tuna was cooked perfectly, with a nice sear on the outside and a tender, juicy inside. The slaw was also very flavorful, with a great balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
