Ingredients

Tuna

½ pound Ahi Tuna sushi grade cut into ½-inch pieces
1 large avocado diced into ½-inch pieces

Ahi Tuna Marinade

1 teaspoon ginger paste or grated
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon chili onion crunch or use sriracha
3 tablespoons scallions finely chopped, more for serving
2 tablespoons sesame seeds mixed white and black, divided

Instructions

Pat the tuna fillet dry using a paper towel. Cut the tuna into 1/2-inch cubes and add to a mixing bowl. Cut the avocado into ½-inch cubes as well and add to the bowl.
In a small bowl, add the ginger, soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, chili onion crunch, scallions and, half the sesame seeds, whisk together until combined.
Pour the sauce over the tuna and avocado mixture and gently mix to incorporate. Add to a smaller bowl so the mixture fits tightly.
Using a larger serving plate, put the plate on top of the bowl and then flip over the bowl, tap to release the tuna mixture, and lift. Top with the remaining sesame seeds and a sprinkle of scallions. Serve with seaweed or crispy wonton chips.
