Tuna Mixture

Method

Preparation of Tuna Mixture

  1. 1

    Chop Tuna

    Finely chop the fresh Ahi tuna into small cubes, ensuring uniformity in size for even marination.

  2. 2

    Prepare Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it lightly with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped tuna, mashed avocado, sesame oil, soy sauce, chili oil, lime juice, finely chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Serving

  1. 4

    Plate the Tartare

    Using a ring mold or simply a spoon, carefully shape the tuna mixture into a mound on a serving plate.

  2. 5

    Garnish

    Top the tartare with microgreens or cilantro for a fresh touch.

  3. 6

    Accompany with Chips

    Serve the spicy tuna tartare with tortilla chips or sesame crackers on the side for added crunch.
