Oriental Tuna Tartare Cups Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the tuna into 1/4-inch dice and place it in a very large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, wasabi, soy sauce, hot red pepper sauce, salt, and pepper. Pour over the tuna, add the scallions and jalapeno, and mix well. Cut the avocados in half, remove the seed, and peel. Cut the avocados into 1/4-inch dice. Carefully mix the avocado into the tuna mixture. Add the toasted sesame seeds, if using, and season to taste. Allow the mixture to sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour for the flavors to blend. Serve on crackers.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients for the dressing in a mixing large bowl.
• Cut the tuna fillet into ½ inch cubes and toss into the dressing. Refrigerate covered.
• Prepare cucumber cups. Cut cucumber into 1 1/2 inch thick segments. Scoop out the middle with a melon baller. Chill.
• Spoon tuna tartare dressing into the chilled cucumber cups. Garnish with sprouts of Tomyao.

Steps:

• Gently comibine all ingredients, except for the cucumbers and chives, in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours.
• To serve as hand-held hors d'oeuvres, cut the cucumber into 3/4" slices and use a melon baller to scoop out a hollow in the center of each slice (be careful not to scoop all the way through). Spoon the marinated tuna into the cucumber "cups". Garnish with chives.
• Alternately, cut the cucumber into 1/4" slices and serve as "chips" for the tartare.
• Makes enough to fill about 15 cucumber cups.
