Wasabi Ahi Tuna Tartare Recipes

Steps:

• Combine tuna, peanut oil, furikake, and wasabi powder in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
• Mix water and 1/2 teaspoon wasabi powder together in a medium bowl. Stir in mayonnaise, chives, and lime juice. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
• Top tortilla chips with tuna tartare, avocado, and red onion. Drizzle wasabi aioli lightly over the top.

Steps:

• Cut the tuna into 1/4-inch dice and place it in a very large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, wasabi, soy sauce, hot red pepper sauce, salt, and pepper. Pour over the tuna, add the scallions and jalapeno, and mix well. Cut the avocados in half, remove the seed, and peel. Cut the avocados into 1/4-inch dice. Carefully mix the avocado into the tuna mixture. Add the toasted sesame seeds, if using, and season to taste. Allow the mixture to sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour for the flavors to blend. Serve on crackers.

Steps:

• Place tuna, marinade and sesame seeds in mixing bowl. Stir and let marinate for 5 minutes. While marinating, assemble "tower" base with avocado and pineapple. Top with marinated tuna and pack tightly.
• In a medium saucepan, heat sesame oil until smoking. Add the garlic, shallot, and ginger. Saute until garlic begins to change color. Deglaze pan with sake. Bring to a simmer and let reduce by half. Add vinegar, soy, and sugar. Return to a boil, blend and then strain into clean saucepan. Whisk in slurry and bring to a boil to thicken. Remove from heat. Chill before using.

Steps:

• Combine the mustard, vegetable, and extra-virgin olive oils in a cup with a pour spout.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the wasabi, lemon juice, rice vinegar, Dijon mustard, yuzu kosho, and soy sauce, and whisk well. Slowly add the oils, whisking constantly to emulsify. Taste for seasoning, add salt, and set aside.
• Place tuna in a glass or stainless steel bowl. Add the shallots and chives, and toss gently to combine. Drizzle about half of the vinaigrette over the tuna, and mix well. Let the tartar sit for 2 minutes; taste for seasoning, and add more of the vinaigrette or salt, to taste. Leftover vinaigrette will keep, refrigerated, for 1 week.
• To serve: shape 1/6 of the tuna tartar into a disc and place it in the center of a serving plate. Arrange 3 dollops of seaweed salad around the disc and garnish with 3 potato slices. Top tuna with a small spoonful of caviar, if desired.
• Place the wakame in a mixing bowl, and soak it in tepid water for 20 to30 minutes. Remove from water, squeeze dry, and trim away the tough spine. Cut into thin strips, and place in a large mixing bowl.
• In a separate bowl, combine the vinegar, salt, sugar, and both oils. Pour the dressing over the wakame, add the chile peppers, and toss. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Peel the potatoes, and using a mandolin for best results (you can thinly slice with a knife, but you will not get the criss-cross pattern which makes these potatoes unique), slice them thin in a criss-cross pattern with the zig-zag part of a mandolin. Lay the slices onto a non-stick sheet pan, not overlapping, and brush them with clarified butter. Bake until crisp, about 12 minutes.

Steps:

• -----------Sauce-------------.
• In a bowl mix wasabi and water to make a paste.
• Let stand 10 minutes.
• Stir in vinegar, mayonnaise and garlic.
• Set aside.
• ---------Tuna-----------.
• Prepare grill with medium-hot coals.
• In a cup, mix the soy sauce, oil, and wasabi powder.
• Brush on tuna.
• Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side for rare tuna.
• Thinly slice the tuna and serve with the Wasabi sauce.

Steps:

• In a bowl, stir together olive oil, wasabi powder, sesame seeds, and cracked black pepper. Toss tuna into mixture until evenly coated. Adjust seasoning as desired with additional wasabi powder or black pepper. Serve on sliced French bread.

Steps:

• Lightly toast the nori sheets over a gas flame or under the broiler for a few seconds. Lay 1 sheet on a work surface. Spread evenly with half of the rice. Spread half of the wasabi down the center of the rice. Tightly roll up the nori and cut across into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
• Mix together all of the tuna ingredients and mound on top of the nori rounds. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Drizzle sesame oil on both sides of each tuna steaks. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine remaining ingredients in a small sauce pan. Heat over low heat until butter is melted, stirring constantly to mix and prevent scorching.
• While sauce is heating, heat a heavy frying pan on another burner with high heat. Place tuna in pan and sear until crispy and brown. Turn and sear on the other side.
• Note: Tuna steak fans who like their tuna on the rare side (like me) will usually find 2 minutes searing time is ample. Folks who like their tuna steaks more well-done (like my DH) may want to sear their tuna for 4-5 minutes per side.
