Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 lb sushi grade tuna cut into 1/4-1/2 inch cubes (you can place the tuna in the freezer for a few minutes to make it easier to slice)
  • 1/4 cup sliced scallions plus more for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste (or 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sriracha
  • 2 avocados halved and pitted

For serving

  • Black sesame seeds
  • Pickled ginger
  • Wasabi mayo

Instructions
 

  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine tuna, scallions, soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, honey, ginger and sriracha. Stir gently to combine. Set aside.
  • Using a sharp knife, lightly score the avocado, as if you were going to dice it, but keep the flesh inside the avocado. Doing this will make the avocado easier to eat once you stuff it with the tuna.
  • Spoon tuna mixture into the avocado halves.
  • Sprinkle tuna with reserved scallions, black sesame seeds, pickled ginger and wasabi mayo.
