Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces fresh sushi-grade tuna
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil (alternative to sesame oil for neutral flavor)
Instructions
Begin by dicing the sushi-grade tuna into small, bite-sized cubes (approximately 1/4-inch pieces). Set aside in a bowl.
In a separate small mixing bowl, combine sriracha, lime juice, honey, toasted sesame oil (or avocado oil if preferred), sea salt, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.
Pour the spicy marinade over the diced tuna. Gently toss the tuna in the marinade using a spoon or spatula, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
Fold in the thinly sliced green onions, reserving a small amount for garnish, if desired.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately as a topping for rice bowls, in sushi rolls, or alongside a fresh salad. Garnish with the reserved green onions for added freshness.
