Fried Wonton Tuna Nachos
These Fried Wonton Tuna Nachos are a great way to use sushi-grade fresh tuna. The nachos have tons of flavor, fresh tuna and crunchy homemade wonton chips.
Ingredients
- 20 wonton wrappers
- fry oil of choice
- 1 cup fresh sushi grade tuna, cubed
Toppings
- furikake and/or sesame seeds
- 1 jalapeño or other pepper like habanero, sliced
- 1 avocado, cubed
- 1/2 cup edamame
- pickled shallots
- wasabi paste
- Sweet chili sauce
- Sriracha or sriracha mayo
- scallions
- cilantro
Instructions
- Heat up fry oil in a large pot or skillet. Slice the wonton wrappers diagonally. If you want to fold them like I did, make a small slice in the middle of the triangle and fold each of the edges into the slice. It should stay pretty secure as you wait for your oil to heat up.
- You can check to see if your oil is ready with a thermometer (should be around 325-350) or by just adding a wonton and seeing if it’s sizzling. Once ready, work in batches and add about 6 chips at a time. Cook for about 2-3 min or until golden brown. Remove and add to a paper towel lined plate.
- Meanwhile, cube tuna and slice whatever toppings you want. When chips have cooled enough to touch, lay out on a sheet pan or large plate. Add in cubed tuna, and other toppings. Drizzle sriracha, sweet chili and wasabi over top. Enjoy!
