Ingredients
- 8 oz Sushi Grade Tuna diced into small cubes
- ¼ cup Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- 1 teaspoon Rice Vinegar
- 1 Avocado diced and seasoned with salt and pepper
- 1 English Cucumber sliced (for serving)
- 1 Scallion thinly sliced (for garnish)
- Black And White Sesame Seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the fresh raw tuna. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Mix well to coat the finely chopped raw tuna. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Season the diced avocado with salt and pepper.
- After the marinating time, drain the tuna from its marinade. To plate the tartare, use a plating ring. Start by adding a layer of diced avocado at the bottom of the ring. Follow with a layer of marinated tuna. Press down gently.
- Sprinkle a pinch of black and white sesame seeds over the tuna. Garnish with thinly sliced scallions.
- Carefully remove the plating ring to reveal a beautifully layered Tuna Tartare. Serve with cucumber slices or crackers on the side for an extra crunch and freshness.
Notes
Choose the Freshest Tuna: Use sushi-grade ahi tuna to ensure the highest quality and safest raw fish for your tartare.
Quick Marination: Marinate the tuna briefly before serving to enhance the flavors without overpowering the freshness of the sushi grade fish. Around 5-10 minutes is ideal.
