A microchip of tuna and avocado, sharp and tangy, a starter packed with suspense.

Raw marinated tuna and avocado shaped as a microchip, with sharp wasabi and tangy lime. The square plating references the Nvidia chip: seemingly innocent, but full of tension and bite.

Ingredients

  • 300 g fresh tuna (sashimi grade)
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 lime
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp wasabi paste
  • 1 spring onion
  • 1 tbsp black sesame seeds
  • 4 nori sheets
  • salt and pepper

Method

  1. Cut the tuna into small 1 cm cubes.
  2. Mix the tuna with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and some lime juice. Chill.
  3. Cut the avocado into 1 cm cubes. Mix with 1 tbsp rice vinegar, salt, pepper, and a bit of lime juice.
  4. Slice the spring onion into fine rings.
  5. Cut the nori sheets into thin strips, 1 cm wide and 4 cm long.
  6. On each plate, make a square of tuna cubes (about 8x8 cm), topped with a layer of avocado cubes to form a chip silhouette.
  7. Lay the nori strips in a grid pattern over the square, like the circuits of a chip.
  8. Garnish with spring onion, black sesame seeds, and small dots of wasabi.
  9. Serve immediately so everything stays fresh and cold.

Serving notes

  • Serve on a black plate for a 'circuit board' effect.
  • Place a small bowl of extra wasabi next to the plate for added suspense.
