  • 2 cup tuna loin
  • 1 tsp Thai chilies
  • 1–2 tbsp garden cilantro
  • 1 whole egg yolk
Slice the sinewy portion off the tuna loin, then slice and dice the tuna, wiping the blade with a damp cloth so it does not get sticky.
  • dark sesame oil
  • Maldon salt
Put the diced tuna in a small bowl with sliced Thai chilies, a drizzle of dark sesame oil, a sprinkling of Maldon salt and a spoonful of mirin. Mix.
Seasoning the tartare
  • mirin
Refrigerate about 30 minutes.
Shape the tuna in a large ring mold and hollow out the center evenly with a smaller ring cutter.
Make a bed of fresh cilantro in the center and set the egg yolk on it.
  • sliced young garlic greens
  • cracked black pepper
  • lime, turmeric, crema
Sprinkle with sliced young garlic greens, cracked black pepper and Maldon salt, and finish with a few sweeps of the lime turmeric crema.
