This is wonderful tuna recipe it has so gone straight up there as one of my favourites. I loved the flavour that came through and the fact that it is healthy and a light meal that you can enjoy guilt free, apart from the added sugar. I used szechuan pepper instead just regular ground black pepper for that added kick. I served mine over mashed pumpkin done Japanese style, topped with sesame spinach, topped with the tuna and drizzled with the glaze.
