drained canned tuna as a substitute. Season the canned tuna and
combine with seasonings, but do not attempt to fry it.

¼ cup seafood spice paste
1 tsp salt
½ tsp crushed black pepper
1 tbsp freshly squeezed limejuice
2 tbsp oil
1-cup sambal matah
Fried shallot for garnish
PREPARATION:
1. Season fresh tuna steaks with seafood spice paste, salt pepper
and lime juice.
2. Heat oil in frying pan and cook tuna steaks for 3 minutes on
each side over high heat. Do not over cook. Set aside and allow
cooling down, and then breaking the tuna into small chunks. Place
in salad bowl, add sambal matah and mix well.
3. Season to taste with salt and pepper and garnish with fried shallots.
