Ahi (Click for close-up.)




The latest rendition of our tuna entree. #1 sashimi grade Ahi, nori tempura, ponzu, pickled ginger, wasabi, mango-poblano slaw and Asian style red cabbage slaw, golden pea shoots, micro intensity herbs.

It sounds like there's too much going on but I like the variety of flavors you can enjoy with each bite. It's like having it prepared three ways. The nori tempura is surprisingly tasty. A pain in the ass to cook but worth the trouble.

Great lookings dish, very generous with the tuna as well! I just love pea tendrals, one of the tastier garnishes around. I'm guessing nori tempura is more complicated than tempura dipped nori sheets?

No, you got it. Tempura dipped nori. Still a pain in the ass. It's hard retaining the "sheet". We layer the tuna on top of it.

That looks amazing! I need to get over to your place sometime and try some of these dishes that I salivate over in your blog postings.
