Main Ingredients
- 12 oz sashimi-grade tuna steaks (about 2–3 small tuna steaks)
Spicy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Kewpie Japanese mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon crispy chili oil
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- ⅛ teaspoon flaky salt
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon scallion, finely sliced
Instructions
- Prepare tuna: Pat the tuna steaks dry using a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Then carefully dice the tuna into small, even cubes to ensure an even coating and texture.
- Mix sauce: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Kewpie mayonnaise, sesame oil, crispy chili oil, sriracha, and flaky salt. Stir gently to create a smooth, well-incorporated spicy sauce.
- Toss tuna: Add the diced tuna pieces into the bowl with the prepared sauce. Gently fold the tuna and sauce together until the cubes are evenly coated without mashing or breaking them apart.
- Finish: Sprinkle the finely sliced scallions over the coated tuna. Serve the spicy tuna mixture immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors and textures.
