Hiroko Liston

Ingredients

  • 2 Carrots *Today I used 280g, cut into thin strips
  • 1/2 tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Dry Chilli Flakes
  • 1 can (95 g) Tuna *I used Tuna in Springwater
  • ‘Goma-ae’ Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Toasted Sesame Seeds *ground
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce

Directions

  • Grind Toasted Sesame Seeds, OR use the trick ‘How To Grind Sesame Seeds Using A Plastic Bag’. Add Sugar and Soy Sauce and mix well to make ‘Goma-ae’ Sauce.
  • Heat Sesame Oil in a frying pan over medium heat, cook Carrots for a few minutes. Add 1 pinch Salt and Chilli Flakes, stir, and remove from the heat while they are still crunchy.
  • *Note: You can blanch Carrot in slightly salted water instead of stir-frying. In that case, Sesame Oil and Chilli Flakes can be added to ‘Goma-ae’ Sauce.
  • Combine Carrot, drained Tuna and ‘Goma-ae’ Sauce.
