Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 oz sushi-grade tuna, finely diced
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced

Sauce

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp sriracha or chili sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Garnishes

  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tuna: Start by finely dicing sushi-grade tuna into uniform, bite-sized cubes to ensure the perfect texture and easy mixing.
  2. Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, fresh lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust the spice level by adding more sriracha if desired.
  3. Combine Tuna and Sauce: Gently fold the diced tuna into the sauce mixture, making sure every piece is lightly coated without mashing the fish, preserving its fresh taste.
  4. Add the Avocado: Dice the ripe avocado and fold it gently into the tuna mixture just before serving to keep its creamy texture and vibrant color intact.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Top the tartare with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds for freshness and a light crunch. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Use the freshest sushi-grade tuna available for safety and optimal flavor.
  • Keep all ingredients chilled until ready to serve to maintain texture and taste.
  • Dice tuna and avocado evenly for the best mouthfeel and presentation.
  • Fold ingredients gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
  • Adjust the spice gradually by adding chili sauce little by little and tasting as you go.
