I made this just because I love seared skipjack tuna.

You can use seared or sashimi skipjack tuna. You can use ground sesame seeds instead of whole sesame seeds. For 4 servings. Recipe by motchan

This is also delicious with bitter gourd instead of cucumber. Slice the bitter gourd very thinly and boil in salted water.
