Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tartare

    Finely dice the bluefin tuna and avocado. Mince the garlic. In a bowl, combine the tuna, avocado, minced garlic, yuzu juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix gently and refrigerate while preparing other components.

    Make the Taro Chips

    Peel and slice the taro root thinly. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the taro slices in batches until they are golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt to taste.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Shiso Salsa

    Finely chop the shiso leaves and mix them with lime juice, olive oil, chili flakes, and salt in a small bowl.
