7 cooking steps

  1. Place the cubed tuna meat in a large bowl then pour-in 3/4 cups of vinegar.
  2. Let stand for 2 minutes then gently squeeze the tuna by placing a spoon on top applying a little pressure.
  3. Gently wash the tuna meat with vinegar. Drain all the vinegar once done. This will help reduce the fishy smell.

  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
