Ingredients
Scale
Tartare Mixture
- 8 oz sushi-grade tuna, diced
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 2 green onions, finely chopped (green parts only)
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce (adjust for spice level)
Garnish & Serving
- 12 crispy wonton chips
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Microgreens or cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Wonton Chips: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the store-bought wonton chips until they are golden brown and crisp, approximately 5-7 minutes. This step ensures a crunchy base for the tartare.
- Mix Tuna: In a mixing bowl, gently combine the diced sushi-grade tuna with the low-sodium soy sauce and Sriracha sauce. Toss until the tuna is evenly coated with the spicy, savory mixture, being careful not to mash the pieces.
- Add Avocado: Carefully fold in the diced avocado to the tuna mixture, maintaining the chunks to add creamy texture contrast to the fresh fish.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the finely chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the tuna and avocado mixture, enhancing flavor and presentation.
- Serve: Just before serving, scoop generous portions of the spicy tuna tartare onto each crispy wonton chip. Garnish with microgreens or cilantro for a fresh, aromatic finish and serve immediately to retain crispness.
Notes
- Use sushi-grade tuna for the best flavor and safety.
- Adjust the amount of Sriracha to your preferred spice level.
- Wonton chips can be store-bought or homemade; homemade can be baked for freshness.
- Serve immediately after assembling to keep wonton chips crispy.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari.
