Spicy Tuna

Actually spicy tuna is not a traditional Japanese dish. Sushi rolls are popular in the U.S. When I first got here I didn't know that. I had never eaten a spicy tuna roll in Japan.

I got 1/4 lb of wild yellow fin tuna- "nakaochi" for $3.00 at the Japanese market place. "Nakaochi" is the name of the part of the tuna. It's the meat in between the rib bones. It's a tasty and inexpensive part of the tuna.

I ate my spicy tuna with crackers like an appetizer.
Ah-- ! we needed a beer!!

1/4 lb tuna- nakaochi
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbs soy sauce
1 tbs Sriracha Hot Cille sauce
2 scallions
2 shiso leaves

Mince the tuna, scallions and shiso. Mix all the ingredients.
That's all :)
