Sashimi

Prep time:

10 mins.

Cook time:

Sashimi


Ingredients:

  • 200g of any sashimi-grade fish like Tuna, Salmon or Hamachi
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (for dipping)
  • 1 tsp fresh wasabi (or store-bought)
  • ½ tsp yuzu zest (optional, for garnish)
  • ½ tsp sesame seeds (optional)
  • Ice water (for chilling knife)

Instructions:

  1. Remove the O-Toro from the refrigerator and pat it dry with a paper towel. Keep it cool to maintain freshness.
  2. Using a single, smooth motion, slice the tuna against the grain into ¼-inch thick pieces. Avoid sawing motions to preserve the delicate texture.
  3. Arrange the slices neatly on a plate. Lightly sprinkle yuzu zest or sesame seeds over the sashimi for an added flavor dimension.
  4. Accompany with soy sauce and freshly grated wasabi. Enjoy immediately!

Tips for the Best O-Toro Sashimi:

  • Always buy high-quality, sashimi-grade fish from a trusted source like Yama Seafood.
  • Serve chilled to highlight its buttery texture.
  • Use a very sharp knife to prevent tearing the delicate flesh.
