Drizzle with the dressing and scatter the sliced spring onion on top.

Tips and questions

Is it safe to eat tuna rare?: Only with sashimi-grade tuna that has been frozen first (in Spain, at −20 °C for 24 hours) to kill parasites such as anisakis.
What do I serve it with?: Steamed rice, a cucumber and wakame salad or stir-fried greens. Slice it thinly against the grain just before serving.
