Ingredients
- 3/4 - 1 pound sashimi-grade ahi tuna steak large
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1 cup fresh pico de gallo
- 1 ripe mango
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 1 cup fine shredded cabbage slaw
- 12 ounce package square wonton wrappers
- 2 quarts fry oil
Instructions
- Pour the oil in a large stock pot and heat over medium to 350 degrees F. Cut the wonton wrappers in half to make triangles. Once the oil is hot, gently drop 4-6 at a time into the oil and dunk. Fry them for 1-2 minutes until golden, then remove with tongs and place on a paper towel lined platter or bowl. Sprinkle with salt and repeat with the remaining wrappers. *If the wontons turn dark immediately, the oil is too hot. Lower the heat and wait a few minutes, then start again.
- Meanwhile, peel and dice the mango. Mix the diced mango into the pico de gallo for a fresh quick salsa. Add a little Sriracha or hot sauce if desired. Then whisk the mayo, honey and wasabi together. Salt to taste. Peel and slice the avocado.
- Once the other components are ready, heat a skillet to high heat. Cut the ahi steak in half lengthwise to create two thin steaks. Season both with salt and pepper, then pour the sesame seeds out on the plate and press both sides of each steak into the sesame seeds. Once the skillet is hot, sear the ahi steaks for approximately 1 minute per side, for the exterior is crusty, but the inside is still raw. Cut the ahi steaks into small cubes.
- To serve: Pile the wonton chips on a large plate or platter. Top with the shredded cabbage. Then sprinkle on the mango pico de gallo, followed by the ahi tuna cubes and avocado slices. Scoop the wasabi mayo into a squirt bottle and squirt over the ahi wonton nachos. Enjoy!
