We've made this several times and really enjoy it. Although the dipping sauce is good we always serve it with a side of wasabi and pickled ginger too. From Cooking From the Heart with Sam Choy.

How To Make ginger marinated seared sashimi

  • Step 1
    Marinate the tuna for 45 minutes to an hour in the marinade (shoyu thru hot chilies).
  • Step 2
    After marinating, place fish on a hot hibachi or barbecue grill, searing very quickly (about 10 seconds, or less) on all sides.
  • Step 3
    Slice as thick or as thin as you like and arrange on an appetizer plate over a bed of shredded cabbage (won bok, head cabbage, purple cabbage, or your favorite sprouts).
  • Step 4
    Garnish with black sesame seeds and serve with the following dipping sauce.
  • Step 5
    Dipping Sauce: In a blender, combine all of the sauce ingredients. Blend for 30 seconds, then adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper to taste. (Do not substitute with black pepper).
  • Step 6
    Pour sauce into serving bowls or small individual dip containers and serve with sashimi.
