Tuna Kinilaw

I and my hubby really love kinilaw..especially if its Tuna Kinilaw. We are just fortunate that hubby works in a tuna company so he can avail a discounted price of tuna meat from his company.
This tuna meat is really fresh and taste good compared those who are available in the wet market.

Usually you can buy tuna cubes at P150/kilo and tuna crazy cuts at P120/kilo in the wet market.

Prices of tuna meat vary depending on the part of tuna..the most expensive i think is the tuna belly. Other parts which available are head part, ribs, the silik (sa tagiliran po ito ng tuna..di ko alam ano tawag but definitely delicious for sinigang, paksiw and prito) tail part is also available.

So here is my own version Tuna Kinilaw :


Ingredients:

1/2 kilo tuna cubes or crazy cuts tuna
1 medium cucumber, sliced thinly
1 medium raddish, sliced thinly
ginger peeled and sliced
1/4 cup kalamansi juice
1 big size onion, sliced thinly
vinegar (small amount)
salt
red sili (optional)

Procedure:

Wash and drain the tuna cubes, place in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and small amount of vinegar. Mix well and let it stand for few minutes.

Drain the tuna cubes and add kalamansi juice together with the other ingredients. Mix well and add some amount of salt to taste.
