Method

To make the soy glaze, combine the soy sauce, sake, mirin and sugar in a pan and cook on a medium heat for 3 minutes. Mix the cornflour and water in a small bowl and stir into the soy mix to thicken.
To make the chipotle mayonnaise, mix together all the ingredients and set aside.
To make the jalapeños, put the butter into a pan with the jalapeños and cook on a low heat for 5 minutes.
Put 2 tostadas on each serving plate.
Place 1 teaspoon of chipotle mayonnaise on each tostada. Put the tuna into a bowl and squeeze the lime juice over, mixing it through to ensure all the pieces are covered.
Take 2 slices of tuna, dip into the soy glaze, then place on each tostada. Place a few jalapeños on each slice of tuna, alongside 1 slice of avocado.
Give the tostadas one further spritz of lime juice and serve.
