minutesThese sesame tuna bites are fancy and so delicious! We made them with wonton chips, creamy sesame sauce, seared tuna steaks and some caviar to decorate.
Ingredients
Neutral oil (vegetable oil, avocado oil, etc.) for cooking
5-6 wonton sheets, defrosted
1 ahi tuna steak (+/- 250g)
¼ cup of raw white sesame seeds
2 tbsp of mayonnaise
½ tbsp of soy sauce
½ tbsp of sesame oil
½ tbsp of maple syrup
Black lumpfish roe (lumpfish caviar)*, to garnish
Green onions, to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F and place the grill in the middle.
- Cut each wonton into 4 equal pieces and place on a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Brush each wonton piece with neutral oil on both sides.
- Cook in the oven for 7-9 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Pour the sesame seeds on a plate and dip the tuna steak on each side in order to create a sesame crust.
- In a pan over medium heat, heat a bit of neutral oil and cook the tuna steak for 1-2 minutes each side.
- Reserve on a plate for 5 minutes, then cut into slices. Cut each slice into 1 inch or the similar size of the wonton chips.
- Prepare the sauce by combining the mayonnaise, soy sauce, sesame oil and maple syrup.
- When ready to serve, spread the sauce on each wonton chip and place the tuna pieces on top of it. Garnish with fish eggs and green onions.
Notes
- Lumpfish roe: often cheaper than caviar, it has a taste of the sea and a salty taste. Caviar is made of sturgeon. Lumpfish eggs come from a fish from the North Atlantic and the Baltic Sea, the lumpfish. It is easily found in grocery stores or fish stores.
