Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Mix all the marinade ingredients in a large mixing bowl: sesame oil, soy sauce, shallot, ginger, sriracha, lime, parsley, and cilantro. Set aside.
Cut ahi tuna steak into small ¼" cubes with a sharp knife. Try to keep the cubes as uniform as possible. Place cubes into a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, add the peeled and pitted avocados, minced red onion, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Mash together with the back of a fork to the desired consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Slowly pour the marinade mixture over the cubed tuna. Gently mix until the marinade is incorporated into all the tuna cubes.
Assemble with avocado mash on the bottom of the bowl or plate and top with tuna.
Garnish with cilantro and or sesame seeds, served with wonton crisps, and ENJOY!

Notes

Try stacking your ahi tuna and avocado for that restaurant-style look.

Grab a round cookie cutter or a metal ring mold. Place it in the center of your serving plate.
Start with the avocado mash. Spoon it into the mold and press down gently with the back of your spoon so it forms a firm, even base.
Layer on the tuna. Add the marinated tuna cubes on top of the avocado, again pressing lightly so the layers stay neat but not squished.
Carefully lift the mold straight up. Voilà — a clean, stacked appetizer.
Garnish with cilantro, sesame seeds, or microgreens for a final touch.
