Tuna Rolls with Rice noodles (From the Today Show It looked really good so I thought it would be fun to try out)
1/4 cup mayonnaise (kewpie) if you get the kewpie mayo (it is at the oriental market you don't need to make your own like the directions say)
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
2 cups regular Cap'n Crunch
Olive oil
1 pound fresh tuna, ideally cut in 2 long rectangular blocks
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Asian chili sauce
5 green onions, finely diced
• Mix mayo and mustard — set aside.
• Put the cereal in a large plastic zip bag and crush it really well, you want it like dust
• Lightly oil the tuna, season it with salt and pepper, then press down into the cereal, making sure it’s covered on all sides.
• Heat a nonstick pan really well first and then add about a tablespoon of oil.
• When it just starts to smoke, add the tuna and sear quickly on all sides until lightly browned — if it’s hot enough, probably no more than about 15 seconds a side.
• Remove and slice into 1/2-inch pieces.
• I serve it by spreading the mayo mix on a plate, topping that with the sliced tuna and drizzling a bit of the chili paste around it.
• Top with green onions and make sure you get some of everything in each bite.
