Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound sushi-grade ahi tuna
- 2 tablespoons low sodium tamari (or low sodium soy sauce)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (or to taste)
- 2 stalks green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional, for extra spice)
- 0.5 cup cucumber, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 cup seaweed salad (optional, for serving)
- 2 cups steamed white or brown rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Ensure that your ahi tuna is sushi-grade and properly thawed if previously frozen.
Using a sharp knife, cut the ahi tuna into small, bite-sized cubes (approximately 1/2-inch). Place the cubes in a mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low sodium tamari, sesame oil, sriracha, and lime juice to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the diced tuna and gently mix to coat evenly. Allow the tuna to marinate for about 5 minutes.
Add the diced cucumber, avocado, sliced green onions, and toasted sesame seeds to the bowl with the marinated tuna. Gently toss to combine.
If desired, stir in red chili flakes for extra heat or adjust the sriracha according to your spice preference.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor. For a complete meal, serve over steamed rice and optionally garnish with a side of seaweed salad.
