Ingredients
- 1 cup 240 mL vegetable oil
- 8-16 wonton wrappers
- 1/2 tsp 3g kosher salt
- 1 lb sushi-grade ahi tuna diced into small 1/2 inch pieces
- 2 ripe avocadoes diced into 1/2 inch pieces
Spicy Mayo
- 1/8 cup 30g mayonnaise, preferably Kewpie brand
- 1-2 tbsp 15-30g sriracha, depending on your love of spiciness
- Juice of half a lemon
- 2 tsp 10 mL sesame oil
- sesame seeds tobiko, finely sliced green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once up to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C), fry wontons, one or two at a time, for 10 seconds, then use tongs to flip the wontons over and fry for another 10 seconds, until the wontons are browned and bubbly.
- Place the fried wontons on a paper towel-lined plate, then sprinkle wontons with a pinch of salt. Repeat these steps until all wontons are fried.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the ingredients for the spicy mayo and set aside.
- In a large bowl, gently mix together the diced tuna and avocado. Then dollop two spoonfuls of the spicy mayo and gently mix in, adding more if desired to coat the fish and avocado to taste.
To Serve
- On a plate, lay a foundation layer of the wonton wrapper, then top it with the spicy tuna mixture, making that layer as even as possible so the next wonton will sit as flat as possible. Top the spicy tuna later with another wonton, then top that with more spicy tuna, and repeat until you have about 3-4 wontons used.
- Top the last wonton with the spicy tuna mix. Garnish with tobiko, sesame seeds, and green onions, if desired.
- Serve immediately, as the wontons will get soggy.
Notes
- To make a fun, curly wonton topping as seen in the photos, cut a couple of wonton wrapper into strips and fry them until brown and bubbly, then let rest on a paper-towel-lined plate until ready to top the tuna towers
