Step 5:

Cover in the panko and wasabi mixture. Heat about 1.5 TB oil in a s****et over medium to medium-high heat.

I used one of the edges as a test piece. Fry about 45 seconds per side until panko is golden brown but the ahi is still rare/raw in the middle. You can leave the smallest edges alone as we will be slicing on a bias.

Step 6:

When done, set aside. Mix the cilantro into the rice, and serve, sprinkling with black sesame seeds (I used a measuring cup as a mold). Slice the ahi on a bias, and fan out around the rice. Drizzle some of the soy reduction around the tuna, and serve.
