If you want to switch it up from sushi, try these Spicy Tuna bites. Served as an appetizer, this recipe has a spicy kick from the sauce and a salty touch from the soy sauce.

We’re serving these with Chandon’s Garden Spritz, as it pairs beautifully with spicy Asian food, it has a spicy character with zesty yet rich orange flavors. Its nice citric notes balance with its sweetness.

Garden Spritz pairs beautifully with spicy Asian food, sushi and sashimi, aged cheddar, dried exotic fruits and nuts. We paired it with these sushi-style appetizer: spicy tuna, cucumber and avocado, both crunchy and creamy, which makes it the perfect appetizer to pair with Chandon Garden Spritz. You can find it at Vinoteca Stores.
