Ahi Tuna Wonton Crisps

If you ever go fishing and catch a beautiful 20lb Ahi Tuna...MAKE THESE!!!  They are so delicious and while the picture may not look like it...very easy to make.  All the flavors combine to create an explosion of flavors and textures you just can not beat.  Just make them!!

1 c julienned pea pods (I used snow peas, but sugar snap would be great too)
1 c julienned carrots
1 c julienned jicama
1/2 c nappa cabbage
1/2 c chopped cilantro
4 tbsp mayo
1 tbsp djon mustard
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp orange juice
1 tbsp lime juice

36 wonton wrappers
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp sesame seeds

Ahi tuna
salt and pepper
olive oil

1/4 c soy sauce
1 tbsp wasabi


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Very lightly brush the sesame oil onto a baking sheet.  Place wonton wrappers onto baking sheet and sprinkle with sesame seeds.  Bake for 5-8 minutes or until golden brown.  Watch them closely because they will burn very easily.

Mix together all the veggies for the cole slaw and set aside; then mix together the wet ingredients and set aside. Mix the wasabi and soy sauce together and set aside.

Generously salt and pepper the tuna.  Heat up olive oil in a skillet until it is searing hot.  Place the tuna in the oil and cook for one minute per side (adjust cooking time based on thickness of tuna).  Place tuna onto a plate and let it rest for a few minutes.

While tuna is resting, mix together the cole slaw veggies with the dressing.  Place a generous portion on top of a wonton crisp and top with a slice of tuna.  Drizzle the wasabi/soy sauce mixture over the top and sprinkle with sesame seeds.  Serve immediately!!!!
