I've been living in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois (in the middle of nowhere in Central Illinois) for the past three years. One food item that I try to stay away from here is fish. Growing up in Hawaii I never thought twice about how lucky I was to experience a multitude of cuisines. I was also fortunate enough to consume fresh fish all the time. When I first moved here I bought frozen tilapa and was disappointed. Boo, frozen white fish. I haven't consumed fish here since.
I was craving ahi (tuna) and decided to check out the market, and lo and behold I found cryogenically packaged tuna from HILO, HI! I was so excited! I even decided to make spicy tuna. Spicy tuna is a mixture of raw fish, hot sauce, and other flavoring. If done right, it's so yummy! I've never made it before, but kind of guessed the recipe based on what I eat atKurukuru Sushi. I do not have exact amounts but just made it and kept adding ingredients.
Chopped Ahi (tuna)
Slice green onions
Sesame Seeds
Sriracha Sauce
Soy Sauce
Mayonnaise
Sugar
I mixed the spicy tuna and then ate it with hot rice! Oiishi! (delicious!) You can also add tobiko (flying fish eggs) to the mixture but I did not want to press my luck and search for these tiny fish eggs in Champaign.
you can get the Tobiko at the EuroMart on University(or at least you could) I made orange rolls last spring when a friend wanted some like her mom made when she was a kid.
