ingredients:
- 10 1/2 ounces raw tuna
- 3 1/2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 cup sake or white wine
step 1:
Cut the tuna into bite-size pieces.
step 2:
Pour 1 cup of the water into a pan and bring to a boil. Add the tuna and remove from the heat after the tuna changes color.
step 3:
Drain. Put the tuna into a bowl filled with 2 cups of the water. Clean any scum off the tuna.
step 4:
Pour the sake (or white wine) and the remaining 1/2 cup of water into the pan. Add the sugar, soy sauce and tuna. Put some aluminum foil over the tuna inside the pan. Simmer on medium-low heat for about 30 minutes.
comment:
This dish using soy sauce and alcohol highly reduces the fish smell. The dish is best served with Japanese sake or shōchū and steamed rice.
