For the best flavor, use high-quality, sushi-grade tuna that is very fresh. If using frozen tuna, thaw it completely before cubing. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your liking, depending on your spice preference. Toasted sesame oil can add an extra layer of nutty flavor. Be careful not to overdo it, as it can be quite strong. Serve immediately after adding the lemon juice to prevent the tuna from becoming 'cooked' by the acid. Consider adding a small amount of rice vinegar to the marinade for a touch of tanginess.

Jun 26, 2024The tip about not adding lemon juice until serving is spot on. It keeps the tuna fresh and vibrant.
