Ingredients
Scale
Wonton Tostadas
- 10–12 wonton wrappers
- Avocado oil spray
Sesame-Nori Seasoning
- 1½ tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 4 small toasted nori squares
- ½ tsp MSG powder
Miso-Wasabi Mayo
- ½ cup Japanese mayo
- 1½ tsp white miso paste
- 1–1½ tsp real wasabi paste
Toppings
- 8 oz sushi-grade bluefin tuna (or sushi-grade tuna of choice)
- Zest of 1 lemon (no juice)
- Chives, to taste
- Olive oil, to taste
- Flaky salt, to taste (use very lightly)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350℉ to prepare for baking the wonton wrappers.
- Prepare Wontons: Make an “X” slit in the center of each wonton wrapper to prevent puffing during baking. Arrange the wrappers on a foil-lined baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with avocado oil. Bake for 8-12 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Make Sesame-Nori Seasoning: While the wontons bake, pulverize the toasted sesame seeds, toasted nori squares, and MSG powder together using a mortar and pestle or a small food processor to create a fine seasoning mix.
- Mix Miso-Wasabi Mayo: In a bowl, combine Japanese mayo, white miso paste, and ½ tsp wasabi paste initially (adjust up to 1½ tsp depending on spice preference). Mix well until smooth.
- Prepare Tuna: Thinly slice the sushi-grade bluefin tuna and lay the slices side by side on parchment paper. Cover with another parchment sheet and use a rolling pin to gently thin out the slices. Cut the tuna into squares matching the size of the baked wonton tostadas for perfect coverage.
- Assemble Tostadas: Spread a layer of the miso-wasabi mayo onto each crispy wonton wrapper. Top with the thin tuna slices, sprinkle the sesame-nori seasoning, add lemon zest for acidity, scatter chopped chives, drizzle with olive oil, and finish with a very light sprinkle of flaky salt.
Notes
- Ensure to make an ‘X’ on the wonton wrappers before baking to avoid puffing.
- Adjust wasabi quantity gradually as per your heat tolerance; start low and taste as you go.
- Use sushi-grade tuna for safety and best flavor.
- Fresh lemon zest is crucial for adding bright acidity to complement the rich tuna and mayo.
- Use flaky salt sparingly to avoid overpowering the delicate flavors.
- For best results, serve immediately after assembly to maintain crispness of tostadas.
