Mini Tuna Tostada Recipe
Ingredients
4 Round Fresh Asian Dumpling Wrappers
6 oz Ahi Tuna, Sushi Grade
2 T Fried Shallot Butter Mayo
2 T Lemongrass-Garlic-Chili Crisp
2 T Fried Shallots
4 Lime Wedges
Rau Ram Leaves
Flaky sea Salt
Technique
- Fry the dumpling wrappers until crispy and golden brown creating a tostada like texture.
- Slather each tostada with the fried shallot mayo and then top with thin slices of the ahi, so the whole surface of the tostada is covered, about 1.5 oz each.
- Rub the tuna with a little oil from the chili crisp and put some of the crispy garlic, chili and lemongrass pieces on as well.
- Garnish with a sprinkling of the fried shallots, flaky sea salt and a few picked rau ram leaves on each tostada.
- Serve a lime wedge next to each one and make sure to squeeze it on fresh right before eating.
