Ingredients

• 450 grams sushi-grade ahi tuna
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 0.5 cup sweet onion
• 2 stalks green onions
• 2 tablespoons furikake seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Hawaiian red chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons limu kohu (Hawaiian seaweed, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the fresh ahi tuna. Use a sharp knife to cut the tuna into bite-sized cubes, roughly 1/2-inch in size, and set aside in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Finely slice the sweet onion into thin slivers and chop the green onions into small rounds. Add both to the bowl with the tuna.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce and sesame oil until combined. Pour this mixture over the tuna and gently toss to coat all the pieces evenly.

Step 4

Sprinkle the furikake seasoning, sea salt, Hawaiian red chili flakes (adjust to your spice preference), and toasted sesame seeds over the tuna mixture. If using limu kohu (Hawaiian seaweed), chop it finely and toss into the mix.

Step 5

Gently fold the mixture to evenly distribute the seasonings, being careful not to break apart the delicate tuna cubes.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Serve chilled as-is or alongside steamed rice or tortilla chips for a satisfying appetizer or meal. Garnish with extra green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
