Ingredients

2 tuna fillets (200-250g)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp flour or cornflour

For the sauce:

2 tbsp sake
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp soup stock (dashi)
1 tbsp mirin or sugar
1 tsp oyster sauce (optional)

Instructions

Sprinkle salt over the tuna and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Rinse off the salt with water and pat the tuna dry with kitchen paper.
Lightly coat both sides of the tuna with flour.
Mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, then add the tuna and sear until both sides are nicely browned.
Turn the heat to low. Wipe off any excess oil from the pan with kitchen paper, then add the mixed sauce.
Spoon the sauce over the tuna from time to time. When the tuna is well coated with the sauce, take it off the heat and transfer it to a serving plate.
