Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) sashimi-grade Ahi tuna, chilled
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) sea salt
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp (5ml) honey
  • 1 tsp (5g) fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 1 clove (3g) garlic, minced
  • 3 stalks (20g) green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp (8g) toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp (15g) macadamia nuts, crushed

Instructions:

  1. Place the chilled Ahi tuna on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice the tuna into 1/4-inch thick planks, then rotate and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
  2. Gently toss the tuna cubes with sea salt in a chilled bowl to draw out excess moisture.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic until the honey is fully dissolved and the oil is integrated.
  4. Pour the marinade over the tuna cubes. Using a rubber spatula or spoon, fold the mixture gently to ensure every piece is coated without crushing the fish.
  5. Fold in the sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and crushed macadamia nuts just before serving to maintain their crisp texture.
