ribbon salad
Serves 4
Prep time 20 minutes
Cooking time 10 minutes
800g of fresh tuna steaks
4 spring onions
1 tbsp pink sushi ginger
2 tsp teriyaki sauce

2 cucumbers
1 red chilli
200g red radish sprouts
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp sesame seeds
1. Cube the tuna into medium sized cubes and place in a blender. Then slice the spring onion,
roughly chop the ginger and add with the rest of the burger ingredients. Blitz until fine, with a little
texture. Then take out and shape into 8 patties of equal size.
2. Finely chop the chilli and mix in a bowl with the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and sesame seeds.
Then using a peeler, peel the cucumber into strips into the bowl, finally add the radish sprouts and
mix well.
3. Heat a frying pan up and add a splash of oil, then cook the tuna burgers for 4 minutes on each
side, season as you are cooking.
4. Then serve the burgers and salad together. This is also great with steamed rice and for a more
indulgent dish mix some wasabi and mayonnaise together and serve on the side as well.
