Spicy Tuna Dip

Ingredients (serves 4 as an app)

  • 1/2 pound of sushi-grade tuna
  • 1/4 cup of mayo
  • 1-2 teaspoons of sriracha (depending on how spicy you like)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil
  • Wontons wrappers (for frying or already fried)
  • Canola oil for frying
  • Cucumber
  • Scallions for garnishing if yo feeling fanci (completely optional)

How TF To Make It!

  1. Cut the tuna into small chunks.
  2. Add mayo, sriracha, and sesame oil to tuna, stir to combine then set aside.
  3. Slice the wonton wrappers diagonally into triangles. You can stack them to do this quickly.
  4. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a pan with high sides or a Dutch oven (to prevent splattering). You want the oil to be around 360 degrees. If you want to test if the oil is hot, fry one strip.
  5. Fry the wonton strips in batches, spreading them out so they don’t stick. Remove with a slotted spoon when they turn golden brown. Watch them closely! They take about 20-30 seconds and can burn if you turn away for 1 second.
  6. Drain fried wontons on a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
  7. Slice cucumber on a diagonal, good for dippin’
  8. Lastly, let’s assemble! In a small bowl serve up the tuna and top with scallions. Serve the tuna with your wonton chips and sliced cumbers!
