Tuna Tataki with Bonito Soy Dressing, Dashi, Finger Lime, Daikon

Ingredients

• 400 gm sashimi grade tuna loin
• 1 punnet daikon cress, snipped
• ¼ cup good quality shaved bonito

Soy Dressing:

• 100 ml bonito flavoured soy sauce
  
• 1 tsp wasabi powder
• 1 tsp yuzu kosho paste
• 2 shallots, finely diced
• 1 finger lime, just the inside bits

Method

For the tuna:  
Cut the tuna into 3 long equal sized pieces. Rub with a little oil and slat and pepper. Heat a nonstick pan over a high heat & add the tuna logs one at a time and cook for 10 seconds on all sides except the ends. Immediately place on a tray and return to the fridge. Once cool, wrap tightly with plastic wrap to form a nice round shape and refrigerate.

For the dressing:
Mix all of the ingredients together. 

To Serve:
Slice the tuna into 3 mm thick slices and arrange nicely on a plate. Using a spoon, drizzle the dressing over the tuna. Top with bonito shavings and then the daikon cress. Serve with an aromatic white or chilled dry sake.
