Instructions
- Mix all the ponzu sauce ingredients in a large enough dish to hold the tuna.
- Place the tuna in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, turning the tuna gently after 30 minutes to ensure the marinade evenly coats all sides.
- Meanwhile
- cook the jasmine rice according to the package instructions. Keep warm.
- Mix all the vinaigrette ingredients, then add the cucumber, mango, edamame, green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds. Set aside in the fridge.
- Remove the tuna from the marinade and gently pat it dry with paper towels. Set aside the marinade.
- Reduce the marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 3 to 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside as a serving sauce.
- Coat the tuna with white and black sesame seeds.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or a very thick pan over high heat. Add sesame oil.
- Sear the tuna for about 30 to 45 seconds on each of the four sides. The center should remain raw.
- Let the tuna rest for 2 minutes, then slice it into thin strips using a sharp knife.
- Divide the rice into serving bowls, add the Asian salad, then place the tataki slices on top.
- Drizzle with a bit of reduced ponzu sauce and garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and a lime wedge.
- Note: Use only high-quality sashimi-grade tuna from a trusted supplier. Remove the fish from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before cooking for even cooking.
- Tataki is best enjoyed immediately after cooking.
