2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Japanese hot mustard
1 oz mirin
1 oz soy sauce
1/2 cup rice vinegar
6 oz peanut oil
2 oz sesame oil
1 1/2 lb sashimi-grade tuna, diced to 1/8-inch
4 shallots, finely chopped
salt & pepper
4 oz finely chopped chives


In a food processor, blend the egg, ginger, garlic, mustard, mirin and soy sauce. Add the vinegar and mix. Slowly drizzle in the peanut oil and sesame oil until just blended. (Can be made ahead and refrigerated.)

In a bowl, mix the tuna and shallots, and spice with salt and pepper. Coat mix with dressing from food processor, letting excess dressing drain off.

Can serve 8 as an appetizer, with 8 slices white bread, crust removed, toasted and cut into triangle quarters. Alternatively, it can be served on water crackers, making 60 hors d'oeuvres pieces. Either way, garnish with the chopped chives.
