A simple yet exquisite dish made by marinating fresh new onions with seared tuna. The flavors penetrate quickly, creating a perfect harmony between the crisp new onions and the rich tuna. It's a dish that goes perfectly with rice and is also great as a snack.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • New Onion 1/2 (120g)
  • Seared Tuna 200g
  • Toasted Sesame Seeds (to taste)
  • Chopped Green Onions (to taste)

Seasonings

  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • [A] Sugar 1 tbsp
  • [A] Soy Sauce 2 tbsp
  • [A] Vinegar 1 tbsp
  • [A] Water 1 tbsp
  • [A] Grated Ginger 1 tsp
  • [A] Dashi Powder (Dashi no Moto) 1/2 tsp

Steps

  1. Peel 1/2 new onion (120g) and thinly slice it against the grain. (This is the key! Slicing against the grain helps to reduce sharpness and allows the flavors to penetrate better.)
  2. Spread the thinly sliced new onion on paper towels and expose it to air for about 10 minutes to remove its sharpness.
  3. Pat dry the surface of 200g of seared tuna with paper towels and slice it into 1cm thick pieces.
  4. Arrange the sliced seared tuna in a storage container.
  5. In a heatproof bowl, combine 1 tbsp of Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) and 1 tbsp of Sugar. Microwave at 600W for about 30 seconds to evaporate the alcohol and dissolve the sugar.
  6. Add 2 tbsp of Soy Sauce, 1 tbsp of Vinegar, 1 tbsp of Water, 1 tsp of Grated Ginger, and 1/2 tsp of Dashi Powder to the warmed bowl. Mix well to create the marinade.
  7. Place the new onion, from which the sharpness has been removed, in the empty spaces of the storage container with the seared tuna.
  8. Pour the prepared marinade over the new onion and seared tuna in the storage container.
  9. After adding the seasonings, cover with plastic wrap to prevent air contact, then place the lid on and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  10. After marinating, arrange on a plate, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds all over, and top the center with chopped green onions to complete the dish.
