Ingredients

white tuna

White tuna, also known as escolar or butterfish is a very delicately textured fish with satiny texture and a rich, buttery flavor. White tuna has a high fat content and is good both raw and cooked. The fish is white and has a delicate flake when cooked. When eaten raw it is smooth and mild tasting.

sriracha

Sriracha is an extremely popular hot sauce that complements many cuisines, particularly those of East Asia. The sauce is a vibrant red color and is easy to squeeze out of the bottle with its semi-thick viscosity. The smell is sweet and spicy and the flavor is similar with a hint of tanginess and garlic. Sriracha tastes very different from any other hot sauce.

japanese mayonnaise

Japanese mayonnaise is a similar to American mayonnaise and uses many of the same ingredients. However, the main distinctions are the use of egg yolks, instead of whole eggs, this gives the mayonnaise a thicker and creamier texture. Rice vinegar is used instead of distilled vinegar, adding another layer of flavor. Dashi powder or other mild seasonings may be added to enhance the flavor. Japanese mayonnaise is cream colored, thick and tastes slightly sweet. Japanese mayo is used on sushi and many other dishes.

chili oil

Chili oil is a popular product in Asia, particularly in East Asian cuisines. The oil is made by infusing hot chili peppers into oil. During the process of letting the chili peppers sit in the oil, hot pepper seeds are added for flavor and the chilies are removed. This oil is a deep red color, has a spicy fragrance and is thick from the seeds. The flavor is full, spicy and often has a hint of salt. Chili oil can be added into dishes and on top of dishes, such as noodles, stir fries and meat.

sesame oil

Sesame oil is pressed and extracted from sesame seeds. Sesame is a tiny seed with an earthy and nutty flavor. The sesame ranges in neutral colors from white to black. Raw sesame oil is yellow. Roasted sesame oil is a light to medium shade of brown. The raw, or non-roasted oil has a milder taste than the roasted variety and is more multi-purpose, whereas the oil from roasted sesame seeds lends a deep, earthy flavor that pairs well in East Asian dishes and is used as a flavoring.

shichimi togarashi

Shichimi togarashi is a popular Japanese spice blend that is used to flavor noodles, meats and variety of savory dishes. The spice blend can be found prepackaged in the US and has an orange-brown tone composed of flakes and granules of various dried spices. It is hot and spicy with an earthy and citrusy flavor that has hints of ginger and seaweed.
