Tuna has been one of my favourite seafoods this season, especially when combined with a citrus-flavoured, soy-based ponzu sauce. Add some kombu seaweed and finish with intensely flavoured bonito shavings for the perfect partner to a rich sashimi tuna.

Ingredients

  • 1 piece of kombu

  • 1 cup light soy sauce

  • ½ cup mirin

  • ½ cup sake

  • 1 tsp sugar

  • ½ cup bonito flakes

  • ½ cup lemon juice

  • 4 ripe avocados

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • 2 spring onions, finely sliced

  • ½ tsp wasabi

  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

  • 400g sashimi grade yellowfin tuna

  • 2 sheets nori

Method

  1. Place the kombu, soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar in a saucepan over a medium heat and bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat and add the bonito flakes. When slightly cooled add the lemon juice and let sit for one hour. Pass through a fine sieve and keep in the fridge until needed.

    Mash two of the avocados with the sesame oil, sliced spring onions and wasabi, season with a little salt as the ponzu sauce will add salt when the dish is complete.

    Dice the tuna and remaining avocados into 2cm pieces.
