🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, gently flake the tuna. I like to use a fork for this; it's less messy than my fingers. Make sure there aren't any large chunks—we want a nice, even texture.
- Next, grab your mixing bowl. In it, combine the flaked tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha (or your chili garlic sauce!), and lime juice. Give everything a good whisk until it's evenly mixed. This step is crucial, people! Don't rush it.
- Now for the sesame oil. I always add a teaspoon at a time, whisking after each addition to see how it changes the flavor and consistency. It's a bit of a dance, but it's worth it. Trust me on this one!
- Once the sesame oil is incorporated, add the green onions and sesame seeds. Stir gently to combine. Resist the urge to overmix—a bit of texture makes it more interesting.
- Taste it. Seriously, taste it. Is it spicy enough? Too much lime? Does it need a pinch more salt? Adjust the seasoning to your liking. Everyones taste buds are different.
- Finally, transfer the dip to your serving bowl. Garnish generously with a sprinkle of extra sesame seeds and a few more chopped green onions, if desired. A pretty presentation makes all the difference, right?
📝 Notes
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spiciness.
- For a smoother dip, you can pulse the ingredients in a food processor until combined.
- For extra flavor, try adding some grated ginger or a pinch of red pepper flakes
