Steps

Cooking The Tuna

01.

Mix black pepper, minced almonds and sesame seeds in a bowl.

02.

Lightly salt the tuna, then press the tuna into mixture, until well coated.

03.

Heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add tuna steaks and sear about 1- 2 mins each side (or longer if you prefer well-cooked tuna).

04.

Transfer the tuna steak to a plate and cover with aluminium foil to keep warm.

Making Onsen Eggs

01.

Add 4 cups water in a heavy bottom saucepan, cover and bring to boil.

Once boiling, remove pot from the heat. Take the eggs out from the refrigerator. Add 200 ml cold tap water and gently submerge the cold eggs in the hot water. Immediately cover and set timer for 17 minutes (or longer). Leave out for 5 minutes.

Making The Sauce

01.

Combine the dashi, Japanese soy sauce and mirin in a small saucepan and bring to boil. Add the bonito flakes and turn off the heat, let it sink to the bottom of the pan.

02.

After 30 secs or so, strain through the strainer and set sauce aside.

03.

Garnish with chopped spring onions and lemon wedges. Serve hot with the sauce.
