1. Combine ingredients, adding wasabi paste to taste. Set aside.“Pickled” cabbage salad

2. For Wasabi Cream combine yogurt, wasabi paste & lime juice, refrigerate until ready to serve.

3. Mexican slaw – Toss together cabbage, peppers, onion, and radishes. Mix together vinegar, lime juice, and olive oil. Add pepper, oregano, mix well and toss with the slaw, correct seasonings for your taste, and set aside to “pickle” for at least an hour – overnight in the fridge is okay.

4. For tacos: Season both sides of the the tuna with pepper and salt (if desired). Cut into 1″ × 4″ strips.

5. Heat a nonstick pan on the stove over high heat. When pan is smoking hot, add olive oil, wait 10 seconds, then add tuna. Sear for 60-seconds per side, or until fish is cooked on the outside, but rare on the inside. Transfer to a plate

6. Place a spoonful of pickled veggies in the center of the taco, add slices of tuna and dress with wasabi cream
