Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, ponzu, mirin, garlic, wasabi, and 3 sliced green onions. Add tuna chunks and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
Step 2
Make your sushi rice: place 1 1/2 cups rinsed sushi rice in a medium saucepan with 2 1/2 cups water and a generous pinch of salt. Bring liquid to a boil, then cover and turn burner down to low. Continue cooking covered until rice is tender, after about 13-15 minutes. Turn off burner, let rice sit at least 15 minutes allowing it to cool to room temp.
Step 3
At serving time, divide rice between 4 bowls. Add marinated tuna, avocado, cucumber and nori. Pour excess marinade over the tuna. Top with a scoop of tobiko and a scattering of toasted sesame seeds.
