Tuna Poke with Wonton Chips image

Categories appetizer

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Vegetable oil, for frying
8 to 10 wonton wrappers
Kosher salt
1 cup (240 milliliters) hot water
1/4 cup (20 grams) dried wakame seaweed (optional)
1 pound (454 grams) sushi-grade tuna
1/3 cup (35 grams) finely diced Maui or Vidalia onion
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon chile flakes, optional
2 teaspoons (10 milliliters) soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon (4 grams) toasted sesame seeds
2 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias

Steps:

Place a medium bowl in the refrigerator. Heat 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil in a small saucepan to 350 degrees F. Fry the wonton wrappers in batches over medium-high heat, until golden brown and crisp, 15 to 20 seconds on each side. Remove the wonton chips with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack set over paper towels; sprinkle with salt. Set aside.
Place the hot water in a small heatproof bowl, sprinkle in the seaweed and let it reconstitute, about 5 minutes. Rinse the seaweed under cold water. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out the excess water with your hands and let drain in a fine-mesh sieve.
Meanwhile, cut the tuna into tidy 1/2-inch (12-millimeter) cubes and transfer to the chilled bowl to keep the raw fish cold. Add the seaweed, onion, sesame oil, chile flakes and soy sauce. Fold very gently with a large spoon, like you're folding egg whites, until the tuna poke is well combined.
Top each wonton chip with about 2 tablespoons of the tuna poke. Garnish with the sesame seeds and scallions and serve right away.
