I gave it a shot, and the combination of fresh tuna with the kick of spice and creamy avocado was just perfect. It’s a great appetizer or light meal, and it’s ready in no time. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:​

• 8 oz sushi-grade tuna, diced into small cubes
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp sriracha (or more, if you like it spicier)
• 1 tsp rice vinegar
• 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
• 1 small shallot, finely diced
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
• 1 avocado, diced
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
• Wonton chips, crackers, or cucumber slices for serving
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Tuna: In a bowl, combine the diced tuna, soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, rice vinegar, and grated ginger. Mix gently to coat the tuna with the sauce.
2. Add Shallots and Chives: Stir in the finely diced shallots and chopped chives. These add a nice crunch and freshness to balance the rich tuna.
3. Prepare the Avocado: Gently fold in the diced avocado, being careful not to mash it. The avocado adds a creamy texture that pairs beautifully with the spicy tuna.
4. Season & Chill: Taste the tartare and season with salt and pepper as needed. If you have time, chill it in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
5. Serve: Spoon the tuna tartare onto wonton chips, crackers, or cucumber slices for a fresh, crunchy bite. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for some extra flavor and texture.

This Spicy Tuna Tartare is light, refreshing, and has just the right amount of heat. It’s the perfect appetizer to impress your guests or treat yourself to something special. Enjoy it fresh—it’s a dish that’s all about quality and simplicity!
