Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Start by trimming the Ahi tuna to remove any sinew. Dice the tuna into small, uniform cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Dice the Vegetables

    Peel and dice the avocado into small cubes. Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and then dice it into small pieces. Thinly slice the green onions.

Mixing the Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and Sriracha until well combined.

  2. 4

    Add Cilantro

    Finely chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the sauce mixture, stirring to incorporate.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In the bowl with the diced tuna, add the diced avocado, cucumber, and sliced green onions. Pour the sauce over the mixture and gently toss to combine, ensuring the tuna is well-coated.

  2. 6

    Plate the Tartare

    Using a ring mold or a small bowl, pack the tuna tartare mixture tightly and then invert onto a serving plate. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately with tortilla chips on the side for dipping.
