Perfect for summer, Chef Christian Grazes Vegan Ahi recipe. Yup that's right. Vegan.
You can do this at home and it will even fool your friends. (seriously!)
*especially in a poke, or spicy "tuna" roll

👉Our (relatively)easy home recipe for vegan ahi for the future-
👇
16 Oz seedless watermelon peeled (obviously)
1/2 cup Bragg amino
1 cup of LOW Sodium soy or tamari (important!)
1/2cup water
4 sheets of nori seaweed
1 peice of Kombu seaweed (whole foods or Japanese market)
1 Tblspoon of Nigiri sake
1 Tblspoon of red miso
1/4cup of pickled sushi ginger juice. (save the ginger for later)
1 Ziploc gallon freezer bag
👍
Take soya, amino, sake, and ginger juice, add Kombu, bring to a simmer for 3 min and let cool.
Slice the watermelon into approximate "sheets" no more than 1 inch thick. place between sheets of nori in zip lock bag.
When mixture is cool pour over melon then seal ziploc (removing as much air as possible)
Freeze for 24-48 hours.
🔥
After 48nhours, let thaw, discard liquid. Watermelon will have miraculously (j/k its chemistry😁) taken on the flavor, colorand texture of ahi tuna.
Spectacular in poke, spicy tuna rolls, and even as its own Nigiri.

Enjoy.
❤
