Spicy Tuna Tartare

No ratings yet
This Spicy Tuna Tartare is a quick, flavor-packed riff on the classic. Sushi-grade tuna is mixed with creamy Kewpie, spicy sriracha, and citrusy yuzu kosho, then layered with diced avocado and garnished with scallions and sesame seeds. Bright, bold, and craveable.
