Frequently asked questions

Chili crisp, also known as crunchy chili oil, is a Chinese condiment that has recently become very popular, although it has been around for a long time. It’s essentially a chili-infused oil with crunchy bits of garlic, shallot, sesame, and sometimes other spices. It’s slightly spicy, salty, and umami-flavored.

If you prefer, you can substitute the coriander for basil or parsley.

Preparation

Blanch the coriander and spinach in a saucepan of boiling water for 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl of iced water to stop the cooking process. Drain, then place in a narrow container with the coconut milk, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, honey, garlic and salt. Use a blender attachment to blend the mixture until it is very smooth. For an even smoother sauce, sieve it, but this is optional.
Thinly slice the tuna. Pour the coriander-coconut milk sauce onto the bottom of a serving plate, then arrange the tuna slices on top. Garnish with a few slices of jalapeño, lime zest, chilli oil and coriander leaves. Serve immediately!
