Preparation of Tuna and Salad

Sear the Ahi Tuna
Heat a non-stick skillet over high heat. Season the Ahi tuna steak with salt and pepper. Once the skillet is hot, sear the tuna for 1-2 minutes on each side for a rare finish. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.

Fry the Wontons
In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Cut the wonton wrappers into triangles. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the wonton triangles in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
