Ingredients
3 tablespoons raw sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce (see Cook’s Note)
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sesame oil
18 ounces ahi tuna, cubed into about 1/2-inch pieces
9 ounces crab meat, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (you can substitute this with cooked shrimp)
9 ounces avocado (about 1 1/2 depending on the size), diced into 1/2-inch pieces
6 ounces cucumber, quartered long ways and sliced thin crosswise
Hot rice, for serving, optional
Directions
- In small saucepan, stir together the sugar and soy sauce. Cook over medium-low heat to bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce to low heat. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from the heat and let cool.
- Add the mayonnaise to a mixing bowl along with the soy sauce mixture and sesame oil. Whisk well until smooth and uniform in color and set aside.
- In another bowl add the tuna, crab, avocado and cucumber. Add the Cali Dreamin' sauce and mix well. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes. Eat by itself or as I prefer, over hot rice.
Cook’s Note
I want to preface this recipe with a secret. I only use Aloha brand soy sauce for my recipes. Though you can use your favorite, you may need to play with the recipe a bit if that is the case.
