Notes
- If you're using frozen tuna, just make sure it's fully thawed and patted dry before marinating. This keeps any extra water out of the dish, so the flavors really stick.
- If you're craving a sweeter touch, you could swap the sugar with honey or maple syrup. It’ll change the taste a bit, but it can give a nice twist if that’s what you’re going for.
- Feel free to add thinly sliced onions or some diced cucumber is desired.
