Mini Nigiri Boat on a Red Fan is all about balance between cool fish and warm, lightly seasoned rice. Look for tuna with a clear, glassy red color and no rainbow sheen; a single even block is far easier to slice than trimmed pieces. An avocado that gives slightly under a gentle press slices cleanly without turning to mush. Double the recipe for a crowd; the method scales easily.
