Instructions
- In a large measuring cup, combine your soy sauce, lemon juice, Dashi, Mirin, rice vinegar and Gochugaru. whisk together until combined.
- In a separate small bowl, combine your Mayo, hot sauce and sesame oil and whisk together until combined. You can make this as spicy as you see fit.
- To plate: lay down a layer of cucumber slices, overlapping them slightly. Top with your thin sliced tuna. With a spoon, lightly apply your sauce from step 1 (you won't use all of it - because you want to reserve some for serving).
