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)
For Serving
- 12 crispy wonton chips
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Microgreens or cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Wonton Chips: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the store-bought wonton chips for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and crisp. This step ensures a crunchy base for the tartare.
- Mix Tuna: In a mixing bowl, gently combine the diced sushi-grade tuna with low-sodium soy sauce and Sriracha sauce. Mix carefully to evenly coat the tuna without breaking it apart.
- Add Avocado: Carefully fold the diced avocado into the tuna mixture, taking care not to mash the avocado so that the texture remains creamy but firm.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the tartare mixture to add freshness and a nutty flavor.
- Serve: Just before serving, scoop a generous spoonful of the spicy tuna tartare onto each crispy wonton chip. Garnish with microgreens or cilantro for a burst of color and fresh flavor.
Notes
- Use sushi-grade tuna to ensure freshness and safety when consuming raw fish.
- Adjust the amount of Sriracha sauce according to your preferred spice level.
- Wonton chips can be store-bought or homemade by baking wonton wrappers until crisp.
- Prepare tartare mixture close to serving time to maintain freshness and prevent avocado browning.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce with tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce alternative.
