Wasabi Tuna Ceviche

A fresh and spicy ceviche, the perfect pairing of raw tuna and wasabi, lifted by a touch of soy sauce and sesame.

Ingredients

  • 250 g fresh tuna (appropriately sourced and treated for raw service)
  • 60 ml lime juice (about 2 limes)
  • 1 tsp wasabi paste
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 piece red onion
  • 5 sprigs fresh cilantro
  • to taste fine salt

Method

  1. Cut the tuna into even 1 cm dice. Keep refrigerated.
  2. Finely slice the red onion and rinse it under cold water to mellow its bite. Drain.
  3. In a bowl, mix the lime juice, wasabi paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until perfectly emulsified.
  4. Add the diced tuna and red onion to the marinade. Gently mix, cover, and let marinate in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 minutes, no more, to avoid cooking the tuna.
  5. Meanwhile, pick the cilantro leaves and roughly chop them.
  6. Divide the ceviche between two plates or small serving glasses. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
