Preparation

Step 1

STEP 1: Gather all ingredients for the recipe. Slice the tuna into small cubes & measure out all ingredients. Combine tuna, shallot, oil, tamari, and pepper sauce in a large bowl and set aside.
STEP 2: To make cucumber cups, scoop out center of each cucumber piece with a small spoon, be careful not to pierce the bottom of the cups.
STEP 3: Spoon 1 heaping Tbsp tuna tartare into each cucumber cup, garnish with toasted sesames & a small dollop of wasabi paste for some kick! Makes about 15-20 pieces.
STEP 4: Add any veggies/herbs of choice to mix it up. Asparagus, cilantro, avocado, fresh sprouts, shredded carrots, etc. Have fun!
