Crispy, savory, and delicately fresh, Tuna Tataki with Wasabi Mayo is a culinary art piece that elevates any dining experience. The blend of lightly seared tuna, creamy wasabi mayo, and vibrant garnishes creates a symphony of textures and flavors.
Ingredients
- 300g sashimi-grade tuna fillet
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp black and white sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp wasabi mayo
- 1 tsp finely chopped chives
- 1 tbsp microgreens (for garnish)
- Pickled ginger and wasabi quenelle (for serving)
Step 1: Prepare the Tuna
Method: Pat the tuna fillet dry and lightly coat it with sesame oil. In a hot skillet, quickly sear each side for 10–15 seconds, ensuring the interior remains raw. Cool and refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up before slicing.
Tip: Use a very sharp knife to create thin, even slices for a professional presentation.
Step 2: Assemble the Wasabi Mayo
Method: Combine 2 tbsp of mayonnaise with 1 tsp of wasabi paste. Adjust the wasabi to your preferred level of heat. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag for easy drizzling.
Tip: For extra flavor, add a dash of lime juice to the mayo.
Step 3: Plate the Tuna Tataki
- Arrangement: Lay the tuna slices in a fanned-out pattern on a clean white ceramic plate.
- Drizzle: Use the piping bag to create an elegant zigzag of wasabi mayo across the tuna slices.
- Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped chives over the tuna. Add microgreens for a fresh, vibrant touch.
- Finishing Touch: Place a small mound of pickled ginger and a quenelle of wasabi on the side. Drizzle soy glaze near the edge of the plate for dipping.
