Ingredients
Scale
Tuna Tartare Mixture
- 8 oz sashimi-grade tuna, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- Salt to taste
Wonton Chips
- 12–16 wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying
Garnishes
- 1 avocado, diced
- Optional microgreens or sliced radish for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Tuna Tartare Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the finely diced sashimi-grade tuna with soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, rice vinegar, lime juice, finely chopped green onion, grated fresh ginger, sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt. Gently fold the ingredients together to blend the flavors without mashing the tuna. Cover the bowl and refrigerate to chill while you prepare the wonton chips.
- Cut the Wonton Wrappers: Lay the wonton wrappers flat and slice them diagonally into triangle shapes, which will become the crispy chips.
- Fry the Wonton Chips: Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. When the oil reaches about 350°F (175°C), fry the wonton triangles in batches, cooking each side for 30 to 45 seconds or until golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips and drain them on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle lightly with salt while they are still warm.
- Assemble the Tartare on Chips: Place a small spoonful of the spicy tuna tartare mixture on each crispy wonton chip. Add a few pieces of diced avocado on top for creaminess.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish each chip with optional microgreens or thinly sliced radish to add fresh color and texture. Serve the tartare-topped chips immediately to enjoy their crisp freshness.
Notes
- For extra flavor, drizzle a touch of spicy mayo or wasabi aioli over the tartare before serving.
- Ensure the tuna is very cold and freshly cut to maintain the best texture and flavor.
- Use high-quality sashimi-grade tuna to safely enjoy the raw fish flavor.
- Wonton chips are best served fresh to retain their crunch.
