Ingredients
Scale
Spicy Tuna Mixture
- 12 oz sashimi-grade tuna steaks (about 2–3 small tuna steaks)
- 2 tablespoons Kewpie Japanese mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon crispy chili oil
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- ⅛ teaspoon flaky salt
- 1 tablespoon scallion, finely sliced
Instructions
- Prepare tuna: Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then dice them into small, even cubes for uniform texture and flavor distribution.
- Mix sauce: In a medium bowl, combine Kewpie mayonnaise, sesame oil, crispy chili oil, sriracha, and flaky salt. Stir well to create a smooth, spicy sauce base.
- Toss tuna: Add the diced tuna to the prepared sauce and gently fold the mixture until the tuna is evenly coated with the spicy mayo blend without breaking the delicate cubes.
- Finish: Sprinkle the finely sliced scallions over the top for a fresh, bright flavor and serve immediately to enjoy the freshest and most vibrant taste.
Notes
- Use sashimi-grade tuna for the best safety and taste since this recipe uses raw fish.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the heat level to your preference.
- Serve with crackers, on rice, or wrapped in nori for variety.
- Consume immediately to maintain freshness and avoid texture deterioration.
