Country: Japan

Country – Japan 🇯🇵

Paleo – As usual rice is the debate. 🍚 This dish should be served over rice; however, I love it over lettuce or over cauliflower rice. Also, this traditionally has Japanese mayonnaise called Kewpie but Paleo mayonnaise works too. 

FODMAP – If your gut can handle scallions, go for it as a garnish. No need to push your digestive system for a garnish however. 🤷‍♀️

Macros – Log it separately unless you like making the recipe in your app, totally do that! 🔢4 ounces of tuna, 1 tablespoon of Paleo mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of chili oil, 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos and 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds.  If you have this over rice or cauliflower rice, make sure you log that too.

Servings & Steps

Servings – 2

Ingredients
– 8 ounces of finely diced fresh tuna, sashimi grade if you can find it
– 2 tablespoons of Paleo mayonnaise
– 2 tablespoons of chili oil
– 1 tablespoon of Sriracha, preferably homemade or at least the cleanest you can find
– 1 to 2 tablespoon of coconut aminos2 teaspoons of sesame seeds
– Dash of red pepper flakes
– Rice, cauliflower “rice,” or salad mix of lettuce

Steps
1-Using a medium size mixing bowl, add the tuna, mayonnaise, Sriracha, sesame oil, chili oil, and red pepper flakes. Then mix it well.

2-Divide it into two dishes over whatever you choose: rice, cauliflower “rice” or lettuce.  If using regular rice, let it get to room temperature first.

3-Sprinkle sesame seeds on top then pour the coconut aminos over it. The amount is sugggested so adjust to personal preference. 

Helpful hints – Try it over each option to see what you like best.  Sometimes to change the flavor a bit I’ll add a bit of Ponzo sauce.
