Japanese Tuna tartar salada



My friend grows cherry tomatoes at her garden and she gave me them!  It tastes really sweet, like fruits!!  So I decided to make a salad with the tomatoes which goes with beer for dinner because my room is real HOT (It's on 3rd floor...) and I really needed a beer lol

While my room is very hot, recently the weather in Boston is like fall.  I feel kind of sad because it means summer is ending soon... My parents are living in Nagano where is located middle of Japan.  They said that Nagano's temperature is still over 100°F everyday!!  That's crazy X((  How about your town?Still hot??

By the way, do you like a canned tuna fish??  I like it and use often so always have in my storage.  I wanna show you a kind of tuna salad recipe which is made with Japanese ingredients.  It is super easy but tastes really good!!!  After you make it, I recommend to have with your chopsticks :))


Japanese Tuna mayonnaise salada

◆Tuna tartar sauce
  • 1 canned tuna (non salted and oil-free is better)
  • 2 Table spoons soy sauce
  • 2 Table spoons mayonnaise
  • 1 Table spoon sesame oil
  • a little bit of wasabi    (If you would like to have with your child, you don't have to use this.)
◆Salad
  • Arugula
  • Cherry tomate
  • Avocado
  • Sesame oil
  • White sesame seed
  • Kosher salt 


1.  Drain tuna and put all ingredients for Tuna tartar sauce in a small bowl and mix them very well
2.  Cut tomato and avocado as you like
3.  Put Arugula, sesame oil and sesame seed in a large bowl and mix them very well
4.  Put the salad you made at step 3 on a large plate and put the tuna tartar sauce you made at step 1 in the center of the salad and put tomato and avocado as you like
5.  Dredge kosher salt on the salad as much as you like


Oh, by the way, after I made this salad, I noticed that I forgot to put a bottle of beer in the fridge last night!!  Oh my god, I couldn't enjoy this one with a beer so I had a glass of white wine instead of a beer.  Fortunately, I realized that this salad really goes with white wine!!!  So happy :))
