Instructions

  1. Prepare the tuna
    Ensure your tuna is very fresh and sushi-grade. Pat it dry with paper towels and cut into 1/4-inch cubes. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
  2. Make the dressing
    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, lime juice, grated ginger, and sriracha (if using) until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  3. Combine ingredients
    In a large bowl, gently combine the diced tuna, cucumber, jalapeño, and green onions. Pour about 3/4 of the dressing over the mixture and fold gently with a spatula, being careful not to break up the tuna cubes.
  4. Add avocado
    Carefully fold in the diced avocado and cilantro, being careful not to mash the avocado. Drizzle with remaining dressing as needed.
  5. Chill and season
    Cover and refrigerate for 5-10 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Don't marinate for too long or the acid will begin to cook the tuna.
  6. Plate and garnish
    Using a ring mold or cookie cutter, carefully pack the tartare mixture inside to create a neat tower on each plate. Alternatively, simply spoon onto plates. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds and additional green onions.
