Description

A vibrant and spicy appetizer featuring fresh sushi-grade tuna tartare served atop crispy baked wonton chips, garnished with creamy avocado, green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and fresh microgreens or cilantro for a perfect burst of flavor and texture.


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)

Serving

  • 12 crispy wonton chips
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Microgreens or cilantro (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wonton Chips: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange store-bought wonton chips in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until they become golden brown and extra crispy. Remove from oven and let cool.
  2. Mix Tuna: In a medium bowl, gently combine the diced sushi-grade tuna with the low-sodium soy sauce and Sriracha sauce. Toss carefully to coat the tuna evenly without breaking up the pieces.
  3. Add Avocado: Carefully fold the diced avocado into the tuna mixture. Be gentle to maintain the avocado’s texture and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  4. Garnish: Sprinkle the finely chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the tuna and avocado mixture. Toss lightly to incorporate the garnish evenly.
  5. Serve: Just before serving, generously scoop the spicy tuna tartare onto each crispy wonton chip. Top with microgreens or cilantro for a fresh, herby finish. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of textures and flavors.

Notes

  • Use sushi-grade tuna for safety and the best flavor.
  • Adjust Sriracha sauce quantity to control the spice level.
  • Wonton chips can be baked fresh or store-bought for convenience.
  • Serve immediately to keep chips crisp and avoid sogginess.
  • Microgreens, cilantro, or fresh herbs add a nice fresh touch but are optional.
