Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, gently toss 8 oz diced sushi-grade tuna with 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp fresh lime juice, and 1 tsp minced pickled ginger until well coated.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine 1 medium diced ripe avocado with 1 tbsp thinly sliced green onions and a pinch of salt, stirring gently to maintain avocado texture.
Step 3: Using a ring mold on a chilled plate, layer half of the avocado mixture as the base, pressing lightly.
Step 4: Spoon the tuna mixture on top of the avocado layer and press gently to form a compact stack.
Step 5: Carefully remove the ring mold and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 1/4 cup microgreens on top.
Step 6: Serve immediately with a small dollop of 1/2 tsp wasabi paste on the side for a spicy kick.
