Soy Marinated Tuna

Recipe to serve 6 people

I have been doing this dish for a while now proving hugely popular at dinner parties and so easy to do and no problem for making in advance it can be made as a salad on a platter, or as I have in the picture plated it individually.

Ingredients & Method

 ½ Cup Soy Sauce
 ½ Cup Rice Wine Vinegar
 ¼ Cup Mirin
 ¼ Cup Sake
 1 table spoon Minced Garlic
 3 table spoon Grain Mustard
 300ml Olive Oil Mix all the ingredients together except for the oil, Using the stick blender slowly add the oil so an emulsification occurs.

Marinade Tuna for 3-4 hours then use the marinade as dressing for around the plate. (can use this marinade for any meat or fish, works well for items on the bbq)

 300g Yellow Fin Tuna
 50g Carrot (Julienne)
 50g Daikon (Julienne)
 10g Chive (Chopped)
 50g Cucumber Ribbons

In a hot pan sear the tuna evenly on each side. Place in marinade.

When ready to serve dress the carrot, daikon and cucumber with the marinade.

Crisp Aromatics

 15g Sliced Garlic
 15g Sliced Shallot
 10g Julienne Chilli

Deep Fry the aromatics untilgolden brown

Teriyaki Sauce

 100mls Soy Sauce
 90mls Mirin
 45mls Sake
 45mls Apple Juice
 75g Sugar Combine all ingredients together and whisk to the boil. Simmer until it has reduced and thickened naturally. It will have a sheen and gloss.

To Garnish

Slice the tuna on the centre of the plate, place the dressed vegetables on top of this.

Use the marinade to dress around the outside and a little mayo over the top.

Finish with some teriyaki sauce (great for on top of chicken and tempura will last for a long time if refrigerated) and by sprinkling on the aromatics and the chive.
