30 minutes
1-2 minutes (light sear)
You will need: a cutting board, sharp knife, clean rag, small baking pan, and a torch.
Ingredients
- Fresh Bluefin Akami - 1 lb
- Togarashi Blend - 1/4 Cup
- Short Grain Sushi Rice - 2 Cups
- Sushi Rice Seasoning - 2 tbsp (Adjust more to taste)
- Sushi Fan - 1 Fan
- Soy Sauce - ¾ cup
- Grated Wasabi - Adjust more or less to taste
Instructions
To prepare Togarashi Seared Ahi (Tuna):
- Make rice with a 1:1 ratio of rice and water (2 cups of rice and 2 cups of water). Be sure to wash and dry the rice well for a perfect outcome.
- While the rice is cooking, pat dry the 1 lb portion of Tuna.
- Next, we pour our Togarashi into a small baking pan and roll our Tuna in it until the portion is completely covered on all sides.
- Light up your torch and get a nice even sear around the Togarashi seasoned Ahi portion.
- Carefully begin to slice the seared ahi about the thickness of a domino and place it to the side for a moment...
- Our rice should be all cooked at this point, and is the right time to add our very easy sushi rice seasoning to the rice pot. Start with a light amount and carefully add more to taste.
- Once sushi rice is mixed and ready, grab a a small ball of sushi rice. Add a little bit of wasabi to the ball of rice and top it with a slice of seared ahi (tuna). Make sure to sandwich the press from all angles, to give the appearance the fish is one with the rice.
- Time to plate and enjoy!
