Ingredients

  • 250 grams fresh tuna
  • 2 medium ripe avocado
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 small red chili
  • 2 pieces spring onions
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 12 pieces mini wonton wrappers
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 grams fresh cilantro

Cooking instructions

  1. Prepare Wonton Cups — Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly brush mini wonton wrappers with olive oil and press them into a mini muffin tin. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.
  2. Dice Tuna and Avocado — Finely dice fresh tuna and ripe avocado into small cubes and place in separate mixing bowls.
  3. Make Marinade — In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and finely chopped red chili. Stir well to blend flavors.
  4. Mix Tuna Tartare — Add the marinade to the diced tuna and gently toss to coat evenly. Chop spring onions and add to the tuna mixture along with sesame seeds. Mix gently.
  5. Combine Avocado — Lightly season avocado cubes with a pinch of salt and a little lime juice to prevent browning. Carefully fold avocado into the tuna mixture, maintaining texture.
  6. Assemble Tartare Cups — Spoon the spicy tuna avocado tartare into the baked wonton cups generously. Garnish each cup with fresh cilantro leaves.
  7. Serve — Serve immediately chilled or at room temperature as a flavorful appetizer.
