Marinated Raw Tuna With Edamame Puree And Wonton Crisps Recipes

MARINATED RAW TUNA WITH EDAMAME PUREE AND WONTON CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 350 degrees F.
• Brush a couple of cookie sheets with sesame oil. Lay the wonton skins side by side in a single layer. Brush the surface of the wontons with sesame oil. Bake for 15 minutes until the wontons crisp up and the edges get golden. Using a spatula, remove the wonton crisps to a platter to let them cool.
• Blanch the soy beans in boiling salted water for 5 minutes. Drain, then pinch the beans out of their pods and put them in a food processor. Add the wasabi, salt, lemon juice, and water. Puree to break up the soy beans. Pour in the canola oil and puree until smooth. Refrigerate.
• Whisk together the soy sauce, sake, brown sugar and chili paste until the sugar dissolves. Arrange the tuna, sliced into 1/4 inch strips, in a single layer in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the tuna, cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Don't marinate the tuna any longer because it will start to "cook" and the texture will be mushy.
• To put these little gems together, dollop a spoonful of the edamame puree on the wonton crisp then lay a slice of tuna on the top. Garnish with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.

BIG EYE TUNA ON WONTON CRISPS WITH PAPAYA DAIKON RELISH

Steps:

• Pour vegetable oil into a medium saucepan until 1-inch deep and place the pan over medium heat. Let the oil heat for about 3 minutes. As the oil heats, cut each wonton wrapper into 4 equally square pieces. Very carefully drop the squares into the hot oil 1 at a time, working in batches of 4 at a time. The wontons will bubble up and turn golden brown very quickly. Remove them with a slotted spoon to a piece of paper towel and repeat the process until all of the wontons are fried.
• The wontons may be fried 1 day in advance and stored in an airtight container.
• Pour the soy sauce into a large bowl and whisk in the ground ginger, cilantro and green onion. Next, cut the tuna into 1-inch square strips and place them in the marinade. Set aside for 15 minutes.
• Place a large heavy bottomed skillet over high heat for 3 minutes. Spray with cooking spray and immediately place the tuna strips in the pan, searing each of the 4 sides for 30 seconds only. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• To assemble, place a small amount of the relish on a wonton crisp. Carefully slice the tuna strips into 1/4-inch pieces. Place 1 piece of tuna atop the relish and serve.
• *Wonton crisps can be made several days in advance and kept in an airtight container.
• Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to macerate.
