Ingredients

1 pound sushi grade tuna ahi, toro, bluefin, yellowfin, albacore all work
1/4 cup kewpie mayo optional!
2 tablespoons hot sauce or sriracha
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
pinch of sugar
1/4 cup sliced green onions
top with thinly sliced cucumbers, jalapeño, sesame seeds and finish with ponzu sauce

Instructions

Make your fresh ahi tuna marinade
Make your spicy tuna mixture. Mince and chop your sushi-grade tuna fine (like mashed) or you can keep it in small cubes. Make your sauce (mix mayo, sriracha, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and thinly sliced green onions) in a separate bowl. Pour over your minced sushi-grade tuna.⁠ Mix well and set aside in the fridge until ready to use. You can serve right away, or let sit to marinade for 30 minutes.
Assemble your dish!
When ready to serve, add your tuna mixture in the mold. Remove the mold and layer on your cucumbers, jalapeño and sesame seeds on top. Finish with a drizzle of ponzu around the outside edge of the tartare/plate. Serve with crackers, chips or toasted bread.
