Tuna Spring Rolls Recipes

RARE TUNA SPRING ROLLS WITH LIME AND SOY

Steps:

• To make the spring rolls, cut the tuna into pieces 2cm wide and 10cm long. Spread each piece of tuna very lightly with the wasabi paste and roll the tuna in the coriander and parsley. Wrap each piece of tuna in a spring roll wrapper, using a little water to seal the ends. Deep fry the spring rolls in hot roll wrapper, using a little water to seal the ends. Deep fry the spring rolls in hot oil for 30 to 45 seconds or until lightly golden. Drain on absorbent paper. Combine the lime juice and soy and place in small dipping bowls to serve with the tuna rolls and an Asian green salad.

SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Prepare the filling. In a wok, stir-fry each vegetable separately in peanut oil. Season with salt and pepper. Drain and transfer to a mixing bowl. Stir in noodles, mushroom soy sauce, chili paste, sesame oil, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool completely. When cool, blend the filling mixture with the aromatic mixture. When ready to form the spring rolls, squeeze out all the excess liquid.
• Make the spring rolls. Place about 1/2 cup of prepared filling per spring roll wrapper. Roll and seal edges with the egg wash. Repeat the process until all filling is used.
• In a deep pot, with about 4 cups peanut oil heated to 350 degrees F., deep-fry in batches of 4 until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Trim off the ends and slice diagonally. Drizzle top with Hot Chinese Mustard Sauce. Serve immediately.
• Prepare the aromatic mixture. In a food processor, combine the ginger, garlic, green onions and red pepper flakes. Turn on machine, slowly add oil and process mixture to a puree. Saute mixture for 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and sugar. Set aside.
• Prepare the Hot Chinese Mustard Sauce. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients except the oil. Stir until well blended. Slowly whisk in the peanut oil until emulsified. Refrigerate, covered until needed.

SPICY TUNA ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine tuna, chives, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Cover tightly and refrigerate. Mix the mayonnaise and chili paste in a small bowl, cover and refrigerate. Slice the cucumbers lengthwise, as thinly as possible into approximately 5-inch lengths. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place 1 heaping teaspoon of the tuna tartar on one end of the cucumber slice. Roll up. The cucumber, when very thinly sliced, will stick together and stay rolled without a toothpick. Continue making rolls with the remaining ingredients.
• Top each roll with 1/4 teaspoon dollop of spicy mayonnaise and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
