For the onions, sweat off the finely chopped garlic, ginger and dried chillies, for a few moments, then add the sliced red onions and cook till semi transparent, add the soy, sake, rice vinegar and sugar and bring to the boil, remove from the heat and strain, allow to cool on trays…. the onions should still be al dente, spicy and a little sweet.
Thinly slice the spring onions. Fry off the sliced garlic till crisp and golden brown and grate the chilli daikon.
To plate place a pile of the spicy onions in the centre of a zuma salad bowl, cut the tuna into slices and roll up, place six rolled up slices of tuna on the onions in a pyramid shape, add a little chilli daikon to some of the ponzu sauce and pour over the tuna, garnish with the fried garlic, sliced spring onions and a small pile of extra chilli daikon.
