Tekka Don is a rice bowl with marinated tuna Sashimi on top. It is an extremely easy dish to make if you have good Sashimi grade tuna (raw tuna that is sold to be eaten raw). Even though the dish is not complicated, Tekka Don tastes really good and is much more special than typical Donburi (rice bowl) dishes such as Oyakodon.
The bright red color of raw tuna is said to give this the name Tekka (“hot iron”) and it’s also very pretty. With Miso Soup and some vegetable side dishes, you’ll have a perfect meal for your family.
We used pre-cut tuna Sashimi, but a block of tuna works the same. You just need to cut it into 1/2″ (1cm) thickness (or thinner). (Best to sharpen your knife before cutting.) If you already have Mentsuyu in your fridge, skip the step 1.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes

1/2 lb (225g) sliced tuna, Sashimi grade
6 Tbsp Mentsuyu or
2 Tbsp soy sauce

Roasted Seaweed, thinly cut
Instructions
If you are not using Mentsuyu, combine and boil soy sauce, Sake, and Mirinin a small pan, remove from heat immediately, and let cool. If the tuna is in a block, cut tuna sashimi into 1/2"(1cm) thick pieces. Marinade Tuna pieces in cooled soy sauce mixture (or Mentsuyu) for 10-15 minutes. Serve rice in a bowl, and top with marinaded tuna, sesame seeds, wasabi, and Roasted Seaweed. Pour some of the marinade sauce over rice if you want.
