Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon sriracha (optional)

Notes

  • Use only the freshest, highest quality sushi-grade tuna available for this raw preparation.
  • You can shape the tartare into small cubes using a ring mold for a more formal presentation.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute half the soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free option.
