Instructions

    1.
    Chop the tuna into 9 bite-sized pieces. In a ziploc bag, combine the tuna with soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Ensure the tuna is fully coated in the marinade. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
    2.
    Slice the cucumber into 9, ¼-inch thick slices. Dice about ¼ of an avocado into 9 pieces. Arrange the avocado pieces in the center of each cucumber slice, creating a stable base for the tuna.
    3.
    Use a toothpick to secure a piece of tuna on top of an avocado and cucumber stack. Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients, creating 9 individual tuna poke bites.
    4.
    Serve the tuna poke bites cold, ideally immediately after assembly, to ensure the freshness of the ingredients and the best flavor experience. Garnish with sesame seeds and roasted seaweed strips for an extra touch.
