Method
|
FOR
SAUCE: Combine the orange juice concentrate, miso, and lime
juice in a small bowl using a whisk. Add the sesame oil and
vegetable oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly.
Refrigerate until chilled.
|
FOR
TUNA: Bring a small saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the
green onions and cook until wilted and bright green, about 45
seconds. Immediately plunge into salted ice water until cool.
Strain and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to dry.
|
Preheat
the grill to high. Mix the tuna with the vegetable oil, kosher
salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Toss to coat well. Grill
until the exterior begins to cook but the center is still rare,
about 3 minutes, turning at least once.
|
TO
ASSEMBLE: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Wrap a scallion
around 1 piece of tuna and secure it with a skewer. Repeat until
all of the ingredients have been used. Wrap the skewers in foil
and seal the edges. Bake until slightly warm, about 5 mintues.
Serve with the dipping sauce.
|
DO-AHEAD
TIPS: The dipping sauce can be prepared up to 3 days in advance.
The tuna can be prepared up to 12 hours in advance and
refrigerated. Bake and serve as directed.
|
NOTE:
- Shiro (or white) miso is a slightly sweet, light yellow
soybean paste made with salt and malted rice. It is easily
found in Japanese specialty markets, some supermarkets, and
health foods stores.
- Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 15 minutes
before using to prevent splintering and burning.
