About This Dish:
I love fish, especially when it's cooked in soy sauce! This recipe cooks ahi tuna in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin and sake. It's very similar to teriyaki sauce and I can't tell you how great the fish and sauce goes with rice! The ahi tuna becomes a very Japanese dish. Additionally, you cook the fish and add the sauce until it gets thick so it's very simple to make on a busy night. My only advice is to put the lid on the pan once you throw in the sauce to make sure it seeps through. Enjoy!

What You Need:
(Makes 2 servings)

• 2 slices of ahi tuna (I bought mine at Trader Joes) approximately 12oz for 2 slices
• 1 - 2 tsp chopped garlic
• 1/2 - 1 tbsp oil (I used organic coconut oil from Trader Joes)
• Salt and pepper
• (Optional) Sprinkle of potato starch
• (Optional) Butter for taste

Sauce

• 4 tbsp Japanese soy sauce
• 2 tbsp mirin
• 2 tbsp Japanese sake

1. Sprinkle some salt, pepper and starch prior to cooking. The starch helps to make the side crispier and sauce thicker but it's optional.

4. Once both sides get crispy, turn the heat to LOW. We don't want to over cook the tuna! Add the sauce mixture and put a lid on it. Once the sauce seeps through the fish and gets thicker, it's ready!

2. Mix the ingredients listed under "Sauce" above.

3. On a MEDIUM to HIGH heated pan, heat some oil then toss in the garlic. After the garlic blends in with the oil cook the tuna.
