Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound red tuna very fresh (sushi grade), cubed
- 2 cups watermelon cubed
- ¼ cup green onions finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- sesame seeds and chives for garnish
Instructions
- Just before serving: Mix all of the ingredients and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Serve immediately, topped with chives and sesame seeds.
Notes
- This dish should be enjoyed immediately.
- You can prep the tuna and watermelon ahead of time and store them separately in tightly covered containers in the fridge, up to a few hours in advance. I recommend combining the ingredients just before serving.
- Tip: Pat the watermelon cubes dry before adding the other ingredients. This will help to ensure it doesn't water down the dish, enhancing the flavor overall.
- ½" to 1" cubes are ideal for this recipe.
