How to Make Wasabi Tuna Salad

  1. In a medium bowl, gently flake the drained tuna with a fork.
  2. Add the mayonnaise, wasabi horseradish paste, rice vinegar, soy sauce, celery, red onion, and sesame oil (if using).
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Stir gently to combine all ingredients. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the tuna mushy.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more wasabi for extra heat, or more mayonnaise for creamier consistency.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for later use. Enjoy on its own, in sandwiches, or as a filling for onigiri!
