Directions
- 1
Prepare the Ahi Tuna
Season the Ahi tuna with salt and black pepper to taste. Heat a skillet over high heat and add sesame oil. Sear the tuna for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or longer if desired. Remove from heat and let it rest.

Prepare the Wontons
In the same skillet, quickly fry the wonton wrappers until golden and crispy, about 30 seconds on each side. Remove and set aside on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Make the Wasabi Vinaigrette
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and wasabi paste until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.

Make the Teriyaki Reduction Sauce
In a small saucepan, heat the teriyaki sauce over medium heat until it reduces slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally and remove from heat once thickened.

Assemble the Dish
