Whisk an egg in a third plate.

Coat the ahi tuna in the seasoned flour, ensuring all sides are covered.

Dip the floured ahi into the whisked egg, coating all sides.

Coat the ahi in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Fry the ahi for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove the fried ahi from the oil and let it rest on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Prepare the sauce by mixing mayonnaise, unagi sauce, and minced garlic in a bowl until combined.

Plate the fried ahi and drizzle with the sauce or serve it on the side with furukake.
