Tuna and cucumber parcels

Ingredients
500 g sashimi-quality tuna, cut into large chunks
15 ml crushed garlic
15 ml minced ginger
1 big lemon (juice only)
1 orange (juice only)
5 ml brown sugar
15 ml fish sauce
1 cucumber
DIPPING SAUCE
2 red chillies, chopped
250 ml white wine vinegar
75 ml white sugar
30 ml fresh lime juice
15 ml fish sauce

Method:
Place tuna chunks in a shallow dish. Mix garlic, ginger, citrus juices, sugar and fish sauce together and pour over tuna. Leave to marinate for about 2 hours. Meanwhile, blend dipping sauce ingredients together and set aside. Using a potato peeler, shave long ribbons off cucumber and cut in half. Drain tuna. Wrap a piece of tuna in a cucumber ribbon and secure with a lemongrass stick, simple bamboo skewer or whatever else you can find. Serve with dipping sauce on the side.
