Hi, I’m Francis,
the host of this show "Cooking with Dog."
First, let’s make the marinade.
Combine the soy sauce, mirin
and dashi stock,
and turn on the burner.
Allow the sauce to reach a rolling boil
and then turn off the burner.
Pour the sauce into a bowl and float it in ice water to cool.
Add the sesame oil and mix the sauce.
Now, slice the sashimi-grade fresh tuna also known as maguro
into 6mm or quarter inch slices.
Remove the excess water with a paper towel.
Then, place the tuna into the chilled marinating sauce.
Make sure to submerge the slices in the sauce
and let them sit for 10 to 20 minutes.
And now, let’s make the Maguro Zukedon.
Dissolve the wasabi in the sauce to taste.
Spoon the sauce over the slightly cooled steamed rice.
Now, grate the yamaimo, Japanese mountain yam.
Place the yam onto the steamed rice.
Wow, That looks really gooey, doesn’t it?
Add the kaiware radish sprouts or garden cress.
Then, arrange the marinated maguro slices on top.
Place the chopped spring onion leaves around the center.
Garnish with the toasted nori seaweed.
Finally, sprinkle on the toasted white sesame seeds.
This dish is best served immediately as the fresh tuna spoils quickly.
Maguro and avocado are a great combination
so you can try it as an additional topping as well.
Sashimi-grade fresh salmon, bonito and sea bream
can also be used for this recipe.
Good luck in the kitchen.
