Sushi Recipes - Tuna with Daikon

Ingredients

  • 250 g (8 oz) lean fresh tuna

  • I tablespoon sesame paste

  • 125 g (4 oz/l cup) daikon, sliced into matchsticks

  • Soy Dipping Sauce or Ponzu Sauce

Method:

  1. Slice the tuna 3 mm (1/8 in) thick. Cut each slice into strips 2 cm (3/4 in) wide.

  2. Spread the sesame paste on 1 side of each tuna strip.

  3. To assemble, line up 1 tablespoon of the daikon evenly so that the sticks are parallel. Hold the daikon with the fingertips of one hand and wrap the tuna around the base of the daikon. The side of the tuna strip with sesame paste should face inside, touching the daikon. The tops of the daikon sticks should stand out slightly above the tuna wrap.

  4. Start the sashimi on a serving platter and serve with either Soy Dipping Sauce or Ponzu Sauce.
