Tartare

Crispy Wonton Chips

Method

Tartare Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ahi Tuna

    Dice the Ahi tuna into small cubes, ensuring that it is freshly sourced and sushi-grade.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice it into small cubes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Dice the cucumber into small cubes.

  4. 4

    Mix the Tartare

    In a mixing bowl, gently combine the diced Ahi tuna, avocado, and cucumber. Add the ginger ponzu sauce and yuzu juice, and mix carefully to avoid mashing the avocado. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Sprinkle sesame seeds over the mixture and gently fold them in.

Crispy Wonton Chips Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Wonton Wrappers

    Cut the wonton wrappers into triangles or strips, depending on your preference for chip shape.

  2. 7

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 8

    Fry the Wonton Chips

    Carefully add the wonton pieces to the hot oil in batches. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
