- 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
- 1 small avocado, sliced

Directions
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and honey. Mix well.
- Slice the fresh tuna into thin strips and place them in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the tuna, making sure all the pieces are coated. Allow the tuna to marinate for 15 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through.

- Place a slice of avocado on each rice cracker. Top with a slice of cucumber and a piece of seared tuna.
- Sprinkle the tuna canapes with black sesame seeds and garnish with fresh cilantro.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
