8 tostada shells

¼ medium red onion, thinly sliced

directions

  1. To prepare the tuna poke sauce, combine all ingredients in a large bowl; set aside.
  2. To prepare the furikake, toast sesame seeds in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant, being careful not to burn; set aside and let cool. Place oil in a small skillet and fry the bonito flakes for 1 minute or until light golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon. Let dry and cool on paper towels. Place in a small mixing bowl with sesame seeds and stir in remaining ingredients. (Keep dry and use as a seasoning on top of other dishes.)
  3. In a medium bowl, stir together tuna and 1 cup Poke Sauce. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate*. Stir in scallions and wakame.
  4. To prepare the avocado puree, clean avocados making sure to remove any brown spots.  Place in a blender or food processor with all remaining ingredients except habanero pepper and blend until smooth. Remove from blender and stir in habanero.
  5. To assemble the tostadas, spread each tostada shell with a thin layer of avocado puree (about 2 to 3 tablespoons). Place marinated tuna mixture on top of the avocado puree and sprinkle generously with Black Sesame Furikake. Garnish with sliced red onion, scallions, lime zest and cilantro. Finish with a squeeze of lime.

*May marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

THE STORY OF SOY SAUCE

Even people who love soy sauce and use it all the time are often surprised to learn what it is and how it’s made. We make ours from just four simple ingredients—water, soybeans, wheat, and salt. Those ingredients are transformed through a traditional brewing process—much like making wine or beer—that has remained unchanged for centuries.
