Ingredients

15-20 Shiso Leaves
1 tbsp Cooking Oil neutral, no flavor or taste
1/2 lb Yellowfin Tuna sushi/sashimi grade
2 Stalk Green Onion
1 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil
2 1/2 tsp Soy Sauce
1 tsp Kewpie Mayo can replace with American mayo, but will alter taste
1/2 tsp Togarashi can substitute with cayenne pepper, but use 1/4 tsp
1 tsp Sriracha
1/8 tsp Toasted Sesame Seed optional

Instructions

Gather all the ingredients.
In a frying pan, add neutral cooking on medium low heat. Let the oil warm up for about 1 minute, reduce the heat to low and add shiso leaves. Cook shiso leaves for 20-30 seconds per side until crispy (should have a solid firm texture). Set aside on cooling rack.
Combine minced yellowfin tuna, chopped green onions, toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, Kewpie mayo, togarashi, Sriracha and mix well.
Take 1 tbsp of the spicy tuna mix and place on top of crispy shiso leaves. Sprinkle optional toasted sesame seed and enjoy as is. No dipping needed.
