1
Prepare the Tuna
Dice the raw tuna into small, uniform cubes, approximately 1/4 inch in size. Place in a mixing bowl.
2
Dice the Asian Pear
Core and dice the Asian pear into small pieces, similar in size to the tuna, and add to the mixing bowl.
3
Prepare the Avocado
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl. Dice the avocado into small cubes and gently fold into the mixture.
4
Add Seasoning
Pour the ponzu sauce and sesame oil over the mixture in the bowl. Gently combine all ingredients to ensure even coating without mashing.
5
Prepare the Crispy Shallots
If using store-bought crispy shallots, measure out 1 cup. If making from scratch, thinly slice shallots and fry in oil until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

6
Plate the Tartare
Using a ring mold or a small bowl, carefully pack the tuna tartare mixture into the mold on a serving plate. Remove the mold gently.
7
Garnish
Top the tartare with a generous sprinkle of crispy shallots for added texture and flavor.
8
Serve with Idaho Chips
Arrange Idaho chips around the tartare on the plate for a crunchy accompaniment.
