Ingredients
  

1 can (5 oz) of solid white tuna in water, drained

2 tablespoons mayonnaise (preferably Japanese Kewpie mayo)

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for spice level)

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 medium cucumber, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds

1 avocado, diced

1 green onion, finely chopped

Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tuna Mixture:

    - In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, sesame oil, and Dijon mustard. Mix until well incorporated. Add salt and pepper to taste.

      Prep the Cucumber:

        - Wash the cucumber thoroughly and slice it into 1/2 inch thick rounds. Pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure they don’t release excess moisture.

          Assemble the Bites:

            - On each cucumber slice, place a spoonful of the spicy tuna mixture. Top with a few diced avocado pieces and sprinkle with chopped green onions.

              Garnish:

                - Finish off with a light sprinkle of sesame seeds and, if desired, some fresh cilantro or parsley for an extra burst of flavor.

                  Serve Immediately:

                    - Arrange the spicy tuna cucumber bites on a platter and serve them as an appetizer. Enjoy the fresh crunch of cucumber and the spicy tuna mix!
