Equipment

1 Sharp Knife

Ingredients

4 oz hamachi (yellowtail tuna)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon seasoned rice vinegar
¼ teaspoon sesame oil
½ lime, juiced
1 sprinkle red pepper flakes or to taste
1 stalk green onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

Begin by slicing the hamachi into thin slices using a very sharp knife. It's best to place the fillet in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm it up for easier slicing.
Arrange the hamachi slices on a serving plate or individual plates.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, seasoned rice vinegar, sesame oil, and lime juice.
Drizzle the soy sauce mixture over the hamachi slices, ensuring each piece is coated.
Sprinkle a touch of red pepper flakes over the fish for a hint of heat.
Garnish with thinly sliced green onions for added freshness and color.
Allow the flavors to meld together for a few minutes before serving. Just about 5 minutes is great.
Serve your Hamachi Crudo immediately while it's still chilled. See notes for suggested pairing.

Notes

Serving:

Enjoy the fish alone or pair it with a side of sushi rice and avocado!
