Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shiitake Cream

    In a saucepan, sauté the shiitake mushrooms over medium heat until soft. Add heavy cream and simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tuna

    Season the fresh tuna steak with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick pan over high heat and sear the tuna for 1-2 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Bubu Crispy Rice

    In the same pan, add a little oil and flash fry the bubu crispy rice until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make the Balsamic Reduction

    In a small saucepan, heat balsamic vinegar over low heat until it reduces by half and becomes syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  5. 5

    Plating

    On a plate, spread the creamy shiitake sauce, top with sliced tuna, sprinkle the crispy bubu rice, drizzle with truffle oil, and finish with the balsamic reduction and hot sauce as desired.
