Ahi Tuna Sashimi with Sesame Oil and Soy Sauce
This is a tasty departure from the usual ahi tuna sashimi with soy sauce on the side. I get fresh ahi, slice it thin, and top with sizzling hot sesame oil and a drizzle of soy sauce. So good ^_^

Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- ½ pound fresh ahi tuna sashimi quality
- 2 tablespoons roasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- white and/or black sesame seeds optional
Instructions
- Thinly slice the ahi tuna and arrange on a plate. I like to arrange the slices separately (instead of overlapping) for this dish. This is so that the sesame oil and soy sauce and be drizzled evenly on all the slices.
- Add the sesame oil to a small pan over medium heat. Heat until the oil gets super fragrant and nutty. Just as the sesame oil begins to smoke (this takes 1-2 minutes), turn off heat, and quickly pour the hot sesame oil over the sashimi.
- Then drizzle the soy sauce on top. Sprinkle on some roasted sesame seeds if using (using white and black sesame seeds give a nice contrast). Eat right away and enjoy ^_^
