Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ahi Tuna

    Season the Ahi tuna with salt and pepper. Coat the tuna evenly with sesame seeds on all sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Tuna

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil and sear the sesame-crusted Ahi tuna for about 30 seconds on each side until it’s rare in the center. Remove from heat and let it rest.

  3. 3

    Fry the Wontons

    In the same skillet, fry the wonton wrappers until they are golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make Wasabi Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and wasabi to make the wasabi aioli. Adjust the wasabi amount to your taste.

  5. 5

    Prepare Avocado

    Slice the avocado into thin pieces.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Crisps

    On each crispy wonton, place a slice of avocado, followed by a piece of seared Ahi tuna. Drizzle with spicy mayo and a small dollop of wasabi aioli. Garnish with chopped green onions.
