  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Begin by placing the fresh albacore tuna in the freezer for 30 minutes. This will make it easier to slice.
  • While the tuna is chilling, prepare the dipping sauce by combining 1/4 cup of soy sauce with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a small bowl.
  • Once the tuna is slightly firm but not frozen, remove it from the freezer and use a sharp knife to slice it thinly against the grain.
  • Arrange the sliced albacore tuna on a serving platter, slightly overlapping the slices.
  • Drizzle the prepared dipping sauce over the tuna slices, then sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of thinly sliced green onions and 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds.
  • Serve the albacore sashimi immediately with wasabi and pickled ginger on the side.
  • Enjoy the delicate flavors of the fresh albacore tuna sashimi!
