Begin by roasting the white pepper, black pepper, fennel, and coriander for around 15 minutes. Then mix the cumin and process all of the spices in a blender. Coat the tuna with the roasted spices, and set aside.

In a blender, make the vinaigrette with mixing 2 of egg yolks with the cilantro, chives, parsley, jalapenos and 4 ounces of the mirin. Add 6 ounces of oil to emulsify. Afterwards, blend the roasted red pepper vinaigrette by mixing 2 egg yolks with remaining 4 ounces of rice vinegar and the roasted red peppers. Emulsify with the oil.
