Preparation Steps
Prepare the Wonton Strips
Cut the wonton wrappers into thin strips. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the wonton strips until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then set aside.
Make the Ginger Soy Glaze
In a small bowl, mix together sesame oil, soy sauce, and grated ginger. Set aside.
Sear the Ahi Tuna
Season the Ahi tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sesame seeds to a plate and press each side of the tuna steaks into the seeds to coat. Sear each steak for about 1-2 minutes per side for a rare finish, or longer for desired doneness.
Prepare the Wasabi Cream
In a small bowl, mix together the wasabi paste and sour cream until well combined. Adjust wasabi to taste.
Assemble the Plate
Place a serving of seaweed salad on each plate. Top with sliced Ahi tuna, drizzle with the ginger soy glaze, and add a dollop of wasabi cream. Garnish with crispy wonton strips.
