sesame oil, and wasabi paste (if using).

Unwrap the tuna. and, using a very sharp knife, cut it
in 1/4" cubes. Transfer to the bowl with the mirin
mixture, then add the sesame seeds and turn to coat; set

In a small bowl, gently toss together the avocado, olive
oil, vinegar, and salt and black pepper to taste.

Stand a 3" round biscuit cutter in the center of a small
plate. Fill with one fourth of the avocado mixture, then
top with one fourth of the tuna mixture, pressing gently
after each addition. Lift off the mold. Repeat with the
remaining avocado and tartare. Drizzle each serving with
sesame oil, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and top with
the scallions. Serve immediately, with potato chips for
scooping.
