Step 2

Allow tuna to thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Remove from packaging, place on a paper towel-lined plate or tray on the lowest shelf of the refrigerator. Allow about 12 hours, and once thawed, give a good pat-down with paper towels to remove any remaining moisture before cooking.Cut tuna into small dice (about ¼ inch – or to preference). In a bowl mix diced tuna, shallots, ginger, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, vinegar, and about 1 tablespoon good olive oil. Add a dash of shichimi togarashi (adjust based on preference; togarashi is medium-spicy so start scant and add to preferred level of heat), salt, and pepper. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary.Slice avocado into thin strips and drizzle to cover with a little olive oil and sea salt. Arrange avocado slices in a small round on a plate, using a ring mold. Top the avocado with the tuna mixture. Garnish with arugula dressed lightly with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Use additional shichimi togarashi to decorate the plate.
