Tuna tartar

Serves 4 for dinner

1lb sashimi quality tuna
2 tbsp real mayonnaise
1" squirt wasabi
2 tsp chopped pickled ginger and some not cut for decoration
1 small clove garlic mashed
1 tbsp mirin( I like Takara Masamune from Asian store) or buy some in supermarket
1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1 serving of SAFFRON RICE


First you have to be able to get sushi grade yellow fin tuna. I get it in my Asian supermarket. It has to be frozen from ship and it will be in small packages( about a lb).

For tuna: unfreeze tuna in refrigerator (about 12 hrs), then chop by hand in small pieces.
For dressing: mix together mayonnaise, wasabi, chopped ginger, garlic, mirin and soy sauce. Mix with tuna just before serving.
To serve: make nice shape of tuna, serve with rice ( Saffron rice recipe ). Decorate top of tuna with maybe radish sprouts, or chopped scallions, squirt of wasabi, few pieces of tuna , water cress etc., be creative.
