Description
Light, luxurious and bursting with umami, this Sesame Ginger Tuna Tartare is the kind of dish that feels restaurant-fancy but takes barely any effort. Silky cubes of sushi-grade tuna are gently tossed in a fragrant sesame-ginger dressing, then layered with creamy avocado for the perfect balance of freshness and richness.
Ingredients
For the Tartare
200g sushi-grade fresh tuna, diced
1 ripe avocado, diced
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp light soy sauce
1 tsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp freshly grated ginger
1 small shallot, very finely minced
½ tsp honey (optional)
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
1 tbsp chopped chives or spring onions
For Serving (Optional)
Crispy wonton chips or crackers
Extra sesame seeds
Microgreens
Instructions
Pat tuna dry and dice into small, even cubes using a sharp knife. Keep chilled.
In a bowl, mix sesame oil, soy sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, shallot and honey.
Gently fold tuna into the dressing. Do not overmix — keep the texture delicate.
Fold in sesame seeds and chives. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Using a ring mold (or small bowl), layer avocado at the bottom, then spoon tuna mixture on top.
Carefully lift the mold, garnish with sesame seeds and microgreens.
Serve immediately with wonton chips or crackers.
