Instructions
 

  • For the Tuna:
    Using a sharp knife, chop the tuna into small cubes. Mix the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, lime, honey, chilli sauce, scallions, cilantro, oils, and Sriracha Sauce. Add in the Tuna and mix well. Cover with wrap and store into the fridge until you are ready to assemble.
    For the Avocado:
    Chop the Avocado into cubes. Season with salt and pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice. Stir. Cover and wrap until ready to assemble.
    For the Mango:
    Chop the Mango into cubes. Season with salt. Cover and wrap until ready to assemble.
    For the assembly:
    Using a Ring Mold place the avocado on the bottom of the mould and smooth it out making sure it is evenly pressed down.
    For the second layer, add the mango and using a spoon smooth it out over top of the avocado and evenly press it down.
    For the top layer, add the tuna and using the same technique above smooth it out also and create an evenly pressed layer.
    Slowly, lift the mold upwards. It helps if the ring mold is cold at the beginning. Try to keep everything in tact! Sprinkle with green onion or chive and sesame seeds to make it look finished and fancy.
    Serve with nacho chips, fried tortillas or plantains.
