Method

  1. Step 1Prepare gimbugak sheets

    Sprinkle sesame seeds and a little salt over a sheet of gim. Quickly dip a square rice paper sheet in water and place it over the gim. Fold any excess rice paper onto the back. If using round rice paper, trim any excess and patch uncovered corners so the surface is mostly covered.

    Note

    The rice paper needs just a quick dip in water—don't oversoak or it will be too soft to handle.

  4. Step 4Assemble and serve

    Using a ring mold, layer yuzu ponzu, avocado, and tuna tartare. Top with jalapeño, microgreens and spicy mayo.

    Note

    If you don't have a ring mold, you can simply spoon the layers on top of each gimbugak cup—it will still look beautiful.
