Tuna Sashimi is a beautifully fresh and vibrant Japanese breakfast dish that features thinly sliced raw tuna, served with a side of flavorful accompaniments. This high-protein meal is not only satisfying but also packed with essential nutrients to kickstart your day.

Ingredients

• Sushi-grade tuna - 200 grams
• Soy sauce - 30 ml
• Wasabi - 5 grams

• Sesame oil - 10 ml
• Green onions - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Seaweed salad - 100 grams
• Cucumber - 1 small, thinly sliced

Steps

1. Begin by ensuring the tuna is sushi-grade and very fresh; place it in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm it up for easier slicing.
2. Using a very sharp knife, slice the tuna into thin pieces, about 0.5 cm thick, and arrange them neatly on two plates.
3. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and sesame oil for dipping.
4. Add a small amount of wasabi alongside the tuna for those who enjoy a bit of heat.
5. Garnish the sashimi with finely chopped green onions and serve with pickled ginger on the side.
6. Prepare the seaweed salad and thinly sliced cucumber to accompany the sashimi on the plate.
7. If including rice, cook the rice according to package instructions, and serve it on the side.
