Print Recipe

Crispy golden wonton shells filled with fresh ahi tuna, creamy avocado, spicy mayo, and vibrant microgreens – a bold, crunchy, and refreshing fusion appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 wonton wrappers
  • Oil for frying
  • 6 oz sushi-grade ahi tuna, finely diced
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup cucumber, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons spicy mayo (or sriracha mayo)
  • Microgreens or shredded red cabbage, for garnish
  • Optional: pickled ginger, sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fold wonton wrappers into taco shapes and fry for 30–45 seconds until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels and let cool.
  2. In a bowl, mix diced ahi tuna with soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, red onion, and cucumber. Chill briefly.
  3. Fill each crispy wonton shell with a spoonful of the tuna mixture.
  4. Add avocado slices and a drizzle of spicy mayo.
  5. Garnish with microgreens or shredded cabbage, sesame seeds, and optional pickled ginger.
  6. Serve immediately while shells are crisp and cool.

Notes

  • Use a muffin tin to mold wonton wrappers into taco shapes before frying.
  • Keep tuna cold and serve immediately to maintain texture and freshness.
  • Substitute spicy mayo with wasabi mayo for a different kick.
