Explore the Japanese-Peruvian fusion of Ceviche Nikkei, where fresh tuna meets citrus brightness in this sophisticated raw preparation. Unlike traditional ceviche, this version features briefly marinated fish—just long enough to enhance flavor without fully cooking" the protein. The dual-component sauce combines Asian ingredients like soy and ginger with Peruvian leche de tigre for complex flavor harmonies. Elegantly garnished with cucumber

Ingredients
For the Asian part of the sauce
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 100 ml apple or cider vinegar
  • 2 orange zest and juice
  • 40 g peeled and cut ginger
    For the leche de tigre
  • 150 ml lime juice about 15 limes
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 30 g brown onion, roughly chopped
  • 20 g peeled and cut ginger
  • 50 g scraps of white fish if you're making the recipe with white fish, you can use the uneven pieces for this

    (continued in the next column ↗️)

  • 30 g celery, sliced
  • 1 chili pepper
    Fish
  • 260 g tuna filet
  • to taste salt
    For garnish
  • piece of cucumber
  • to taste crispy quinoa
  • to taste chopped chili
  • to taste drops of sesame oil
    • Directions

    For the asian part of the sauce

    • Put everything on the pot on high heat until it goes syrupy
    • Put it in the fridge or freezer until cold to mix with the tiger's milk

    For the tiger's milk

    • We put everything in the blender and pulse about 5 times to grind them down a bit but definitely not fully. 
    • Pass it through a fine sieve and squeeze down to get all the juices out.
    • If you're not going to use it immediately, keep it in the fridge so it doesn't go bitter.

    The fish

    • Cut thin tuna slices, without any dark meat.
    • Season with salt before putting on the plate.

    To decorate

    • Put the tuna slices in a line and then put the sauce on top. Do this right before eating or the fish will cook.
    • Cut thin sticks of cucumber, only the green part plus a bit of flesh. With the center part you can flavour water 🙂
    • Put the crispy quinua, the sliced chili and sesame oil drops on top to finish off.

    Notes

    You can replace the tuna for a white, mild fish like sea bass or sole, and even salmon.

    💬 Uncle Dave says...
    There are tons of recipes for this, and no two are the same.
    Unlike traditional ceviche in which fresh fish is "cooked" in lime for hours, ceviche Nikkei includes fresh fish exposed to lime for only minutes before eating. Nikkei cuisine refers to Japanese-Peruvian food, first created after Japanese farmers immigrated at the end of the 19th century to Peru---the first country in South American to have diplomatic relations with Japan. Nikkei cuisine centers on the use of seafood---fish, octopus, scallops---and integrates Japanese ingredients like miso, ginger, soy, and wasabi with Peruvian staples including aji pepper, potatoes, and corn.
