3 T Cilantro – fresh, finely chopped
2 t Ginger – freshly grated
1 Jalapeño – small, minced
1 Green onion – minced
1/4 C Soy sauce
2 T Sesame oil
1 Avocado – ripe, slightly firm
2 t Sesame seeds (or Trader Joe’s golden roasted flax seeds)
Directions:
- Combine tuna, cilantro, jalapeño, ginger, green onion, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl; toss gently.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours.
- Just before serving, peel and pit avocado and cut into small cubes. Combine with tuna mixture, making sure avocado is well integrated with tuna. Scoop poke into 6 bowls, sprinkle with sesame or flax seeds, and serve.
