Crispy Nori Wontons With Barely Seared Tuna And Wasabi Cream Recipes

SEARED AHI TUNA GLAZED WITH WASABI BUTTER

Steps:

• Drizzle sesame oil on both sides of each tuna steaks. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine remaining ingredients in a small sauce pan. Heat over low heat until butter is melted, stirring constantly to mix and prevent scorching.
• While sauce is heating, heat a heavy frying pan on another burner with high heat. Place tuna in pan and sear until crispy and brown. Turn and sear on the other side.
• Note: Tuna steak fans who like their tuna on the rare side (like me) will usually find 2 minutes searing time is ample. Folks who like their tuna steaks more well-done (like my DH) may want to sear their tuna for 4-5 minutes per side.

SEARED TUNA WITH LEMON-WASABI DRESSING AND HOT MUSTARD WONTON CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Arrange wonton wrappers on prepared baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Season the tops with salt, black pepper and mustard powder, to taste. Bake 6 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
• Meanwhile, coat a stove-top grill pan or griddle with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat to preheat. Season both sides of tuna steaks with salt and black pepper. Place tuna on hot pan and sear 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium doneness.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lemon juice, wasabi paste, and sesame oil. Transfer tuna to a serving plate and spoon dressing over top. Sprinkle the top with scallions. Serve wonton chips alongside.
