Method

Dice the tuna into 1cm cubes. Mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and ginger paste together, then taste and season with a squeeze of lime juice.
Dice the avocado the same size as the tuna, then mix with the dressing, fish and chopped coriander. Divide between two plates, using a metal ring if you want to be extra cheffy and neat. Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and serve.
