and this is Reason #26 Why I Should Quit My Current Job: I make shit like this for a midnight snack.


My older brother sent me a text while I was at work saying he had some "goody" sushi-grade tuna at home for me when I got off :]

So, I rolled home and cooked me up some pan-seared tuna steak with a cranberry-wasabi reduction and some cucumber and tuna roles (we have no sticky rice D:)

How to: (Make sure your tuna steak is legit and fresh!)

Tuna Steak:
Coat a non-stick pan with olive oil, heat it at high on a stove top until the olive oil gets a bit shimmery. Put the steak on, careful cos the oil can sputter up on you, and cook it on both sides for about sixty seconds.

Cranberry Reduction:
Pour a mixture of half cranberry and half water into a deep pan (less then a quarter of a cup should work fine). Heat the pan at medium heat, continually!!! stir in about a quarter cup of sugar or honey until it's all dissolved. Add about half a teaspoon each of wasabi and ginger powder. The sauce should start bubbling, if not, turn the heat up! The key is to keep stirring! Keep it on the heat until it thickens up, not too thick or it'd get like. grossish when it cools. Drizzle on the tuna steak and zomfg yummy :]


Rolls are pretty self explanatory--I'm munchin' on 'em right now with wasabi and soy sauce.


Mnommnom best midnight snack EVER! :]

EDIT: Holy CRAP! I'm gonna have to say that this Feature was my best birthday present, by far (beats out the ping-pong balls and bathing suit)! I'm kinda miffed as to why this was Featurable, but I'm very happy about it all the same. And I'll be quiting my job tomorrow, due to ankle injury and a deep loathing for the position. Thanks guys!

A gourmet recipe, elegantly presented, and even with a well-composed photograph show this to be a sound and exquisite dish - far greater than the usual midnight snack.

I hope well for this aspiring chef. And yes, I think this would count as evidence that the world would benefit by her leaving her current job and enter the food art industry.

Nice work. *Thumbs Up.*
