Be sure to grate the ginger very fine &#8211; I use a microplane. Also make sure all the wasabi paste is dispersed. Marinate the ahi for about 6 hours in the refrigerator, turning every two hours if you can. You can do this in a covered dish, plastic bag or use a vacuum marinator. (I use the vacuum marinator made for the Food Saver appliance.)<\/p>\n<p>Heat a non-stick skillet with a small amount of oil. Flip the ahi a few times in the marinade to get it good and coated and sear on high heat for about 1 minute per side. Pour the leftover marinade onto the ahi as you are cooking &#8211; half after it goes in the pan and half after you flip it. This will give you ahi that is rare on the inside with a slightly caramelized glaze from the marinade.<\/p>\n<p>Ponzu sauce is a soy sauce with citrus flavor added. You can find it at any Asian grocery or a market with a good Asian food section. If you can&#8217;t find it, use 3 tbs soy sauce with 1 tbs orange juice (or try lime). It&#8217;s also good with just soy sauce.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If, like me, you like your Ahi lightly seared (and rare on the inside) with a tasty sauce, you&#8217;ll like this dish.\u00a0 I created\u00a0the marinade out of my head one day.\u00a0 Serve it with a salad and some Asian vegetables or rice if you&#8217;re\u00a0not watching the carbs.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[34,38,39,36,37,35],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/markiscooking.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/markiscooking.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/markiscooking.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/markiscooking.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/markiscooking.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/markiscooking.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/markiscooking.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/markiscooking.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/markiscooking.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
