Method
Pat the tuna loin dry with kitchen paper and season the outside lightly with salt.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over high heat until smoking.
Sear the tuna for 30 seconds on each side until the outside is browned but the centre is still raw, then transfer immediately to a plate of ice to stop the cooking.
Whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice and grated ginger to make the dressing.
Slice the tuna thinly across the grain.
Arrange the slices on a plate, spoon over the dressing and scatter with sliced spring onions and toasted sesame seeds.
