Sadly…one of the worst dishes we have had in a long time. Way too much pepper. We measured 4T peppercorn vs crushed so maybe that made a difference. Bok Choy was good but tainted by the pepper sauce. Not sure how it went wrong for us.

Easy and good.

Fantastic recipe. I suggest less soy and a bit more wasabi and baby Bok Choy is a must! Also, after a quick sear of the tuna in a very hot iron skillet, I slice the tuna into strips before placing the tuna on the bok choy in a pasta bowl (to hold the liquid). We have made this many times and I only added my comments when I noticed no one had reviewed the recipe. So,if you like and can secure really good, fresh tuna, please give this a try!

Great recipe! I Will definitely make this dish again.

I will definitely be making this dish again in the future. A great seasoning mixture on the tuna, and the bokchoy came out excellent. I think I’ll throw some mushrooms in with the bokchoy next time!
