- sauce: Add soy sauce, sesame oil and sriracha (if using) and mix.
- Green onions: Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the tartar.

I had grilled wonton chips in a ladle of tuna tartare. You can also use baked chips such as purple potato chips or plantain chips if you prefer. For a low-carb option, serve with bell peppers, jicama, or celery sticks.

Tuna tartare is best eaten the same day it is made, but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to two days.
variation:
- fish: Substitute salmon for sushi for tuna.
