Method

Prepare Tuna Mixture

  1. 1

    Dice the Tuna

    Using a sharp knife, cut the fresh tuna into small, even cubes, approximately 1/4 inch in size.

  2. 2

    Mix the Sauce

    In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tuna, soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha sauce, chopped green onions, and lime juice. Gently fold to combine, ensuring the tuna is well-coated with the sauce.

  3. 3

    Add Sesame Seeds

    Sprinkle in the black sesame seeds and fold again to incorporate into the tuna mixture.

Prepare Avocado Layer

  1. 4

    Mash the Avocado

    Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it gently with a fork.

  2. 5

    Season the Avocado

    Add lime juice and salt to the mashed avocado, mixing well to combine.

Plating

  1. 6

    Layer the Ingredients

    On a plate or in a small ring mold, add a layer of the seasoned avocado at the bottom, followed by a generous layer of the spicy tuna mixture on top.

  2. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Top the tartare with microgreens or sprouts and sprinkle additional black sesame seeds. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or cucumber slices for dipping.
