Instructions

Combine Citrus and Umami. In a small bowl whisk together 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1 tablespoon low‑sodium soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil. The acidity from the lime will cut through the richness of the tuna, while the soy sauce adds depth.
Add Heat & Aroma. Stir in ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger and ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes. Ginger contributes a warm, peppery note, and the flakes give a gentle kick that awakens the palate.
Season Lightly. Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper. Taste and adjust; the dressing should be bright, slightly salty, and just a touch spicy.
