Tuna Tataki Recipe
A typical preparation of Japanese gastronomy, and also a very healthy and light snack, full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 250 g Tuna Belly
- 100 ml Soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp Ginger powder
- 50 ml Rice vinegar
- Salt
- Sesame
- Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- We begin by preparing the marinade. In a bowl mix the soy sauce, ginger, rice vinegar and a pinch of salt. Mix well and soak the tuna in this mixture. Let stand for one hour. If the marinade does not cover the piece, turn it over after half an hour.
- While we wait for the marinade to take effect, we are going to toast the sesame seeds. We put a frying pan on the fire and put the sesame seeds in it. Cook for about 2 minutes while stirring occasionally.
- We put the toasted seeds in a deep dish, and, when the tuna is ready, we are going to coat it well with the seeds.Now, we put a griddle on the fire, with a pinch of oil well distributed.
- Place over high heat and, as soon as it is very hot, cook the tuna for a few minutes on all sides.Serve cut into small fillets once the dish has cooled down, as it is not common to serve it very hot.
Notes
NOTE: Serve the tataki with a little more soy sauce, or prepare a sauce by making a reduction with the marinade. To do this, when we have marinated the tuna, put the marinade in a frying pan, and cook for a few minutes until the sauce reduces. Reserve and serve with the tataki.
NOTE 2: Use a very sharp knife to cut the tataki before serving.
