Ingredients

1/2 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sesame oil, divided
1/2 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon brown sugar, divided
1 cup shredded red cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup broccoli slaw
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon light soy sauce
1 1/4 pound tuna steak, finely chopped

Preparation

  1. In a bowl, combine vinegar, 1 teaspoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon sugar. Add cabbage, carrots and broccoli slaw; toss and set aside.
