Recipe from Cooking Up Life by Zac Kara

Ingredients

Mango Puree:

½ cup mango chopped
½ tsp lemon juice

Avocado Mousse:

½ avocado
1 tsp sour cream
Salt and pepper

Arugula-Cucumber Noodle (optional):

½ cup arugula, lightly packed
½ cup cucumber, roughly chopped
¼ cup water
4g agar agar

Tuna:

1 lb tuna (sushi-grade, or sashimi-grade is best if available)

Garnishes:

Finishing salt or other course salt ? 2 radishes, thinly sliced

Special Equipment (optional):

2 syringes
1 tube

Method

For the Mango Puree: Blend the mango with lemon juice. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate until serving.
For the Avocado Mousse: Blend the avocado with sour cream, salt, and pepper.
For the Arugula-Cucumber Noodle: Prepare a bowl of ice water. Blend the arugula, cucumber, and water until smooth.
Pour the puree into a small saucepan with the agar agar.
Cook on medium heat until the mixture boils. Quickly pour it into a bowl.
Using a syringe, suck up some of the liquid, and insert it into the tube. Place the tube in the ice water for 2 minutes.
Using a clean syringe, suck up some air, and insert it in the tube. Push out the air to remove the noodle.
For the Tuna Sashimi: Using a sharp knife, slice the tuna around 1/2 cm thin. Cut against the grain of the tuna. When slicing the tuna, gently, but deliberately cut it, making sure not to use a sawing motion. Instead, “pull” the knife though the tuna while slicing it in one stroke.
Serve the tuna sashimi with the avocado mouse, mango puree, and arugula-cucumber noodle. Garnish with some thinly sliced radishes, and generously sprinkle finishing salt over the top.
