Ingredients

Tuna Marinade

  • 12 Ounces Sushi-Grade Tuna (cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
  • 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 1/4 Cup Soy Sauce (or substitute coconut aminos to make it gluten-free)
  • 1/3 Cup Green Onion (sliced thin)
  • 1/3 Cup Sweet Onion (sliced thin)
  • 1 Teaspoon Fresh Ginger (grated)

Toppings and Assembly

  • 2 Tablespoons Furikake Seasoning
  • 6 Tostada Shells (or substitute tortilla chips)
  • 1 Avocado (sliced thin)

Instructions

  1. Prepare: Begin by cutting the sushi-grade tuna into 1/2 inch cubes. Place the cubes into a large mixing bowl along with the sesame oil, soy sauce, thinly sliced green onion and sweet onion, and freshly grated ginger.
  2. Toss and Coat: Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to ensure each tuna cube is evenly coated with the marinade. This step infuses flavor into the tuna for a delicious result.
  3. Marinate: Cover the bowl containing the tuna mixture and refrigerate it for 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the tuna to absorb the savory marinade fully.
  4. Plate: Once marinated, arrange the tostada shells on a serving plate. Add thin slices of avocado on top of each shell, creating a creamy base layer.
  5. Assemble: Spoon the marinated ahi tuna mixture over the avocado slices on each tostada, distributing evenly among the six shells.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Finish by sprinkling each tostada with furikake seasoning for an added burst of umami flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh and vibrant dish.

Notes

  • Use sushi-grade tuna for safety and best flavor when consuming raw tuna.
  • If gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with coconut aminos.
  • For extra crunch, lightly toast the tostada shells before assembling.
  • Can be served as an appetizer or a light main dish.
  • To enhance flavor, allow tuna to marinate for the full 30 minutes but avoid exceeding 1 hour to keep the tuna texture fresh.
