Ahi Tuna Tataki
Ingredients
-
1 lb sushi grade ahi tuna
-
1/2 cup toasted white sesame seeds
-
1/2 cup black sesame seeds
-
1 tablespoon sesame oil
-
1 tablespoon shoyu
-
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
-
1/2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
-
salt and pepper to taste
-
green onions to garnish
Directions
Heat a skillet with a drizzle of sesame oil. Take your ahi and dry it well. Roll it in your sesame seeds so they are all on sides. Place in the skillet for about 25-30 seconds on each side. Remove immediately.
Let it rest and in the meantime, make your sauce by mixing soy sauce, shoyu, chili flakes, rice wine vinegar and salt and pepper.
Thinly thinly slice your ahi, drizzle on some sauce and serve with extra dipping sauce as well. Top with green onions + serve.

Can I make this ahead and serve it cold? I would like to take it to Gourmet group this evening.
Hi Laurie! Yes, you can make ahead and serve cold. The color on the ahi may turn into a darker color by prepping ahead, but it will still taste the same.
Hi, I think you’ve left the soy sauce off the ingredients list. How much should be used in the sauce? Thanks
Soy sauce is a type of Shoyu. The recipe calls for 1 tablespoon Shoyu (or soy sauce!) I hope this helps!
Hi Lindsey,
Your directions say, ” mixing soy sauce, shoyu, chili flakes, rice wine vinegar and salt and pepper.” and not (or soy sauce) as you typed in your reply to Nicole. So, are you saying we do not need both?
Also, do you have the nutritional and servings info?
Thanks so much!

You don’t need both! Either soy sauce or shoyu! Servings 2-3.
