Yield: 4-5 servings
Ingredients:
| 1 1/2 tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce |
| 2 tsp. toasted sesame oil |
| 1 teaspoon mirin |
| 1 lb. sushi-grade ahi tuna, cut into small cubes |
| Vegetable oil, for frying |
| 18 to 20 wonton wrappers |
| Kosher salt |
| 3/4 c. very thinly shredded cabbage |
| 3 scallions, cut into thin matchsticks |
| 1/3 c. mayonnaise (preferably Kewpie) |
| 1 1/2 tbsp. sriracha |
| 1 avocado, finely chopped |
| 1 to 2 jalapeños, thinly sliced |
| White and/or black sesame seeds and lime wedges, for serving |
Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, and mirin. Add tuna and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to refrigerator until ready to use.
- Into a large heavy skillet fitted with a deep-fry thermometer, pour vegetable oil to a depth of about 1/2″. Heat over medium heat until thermometer registers 350º.
- Slice each wonton wrapper from one corner to the opposite corner, creating 2 triangles. Working in batches, fry wrappers, flipping halfway through, until chips have puffed up and turn a pale golden color, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
- Transfer chips to a paper towel-lined plate; season with a pinch of salt. Repeat with remaining chips.
- In a medium bowl, create an ice bath. Add cabbage and scallions, shocking vegetables about 5 minutes so they slightly curl and become crispy. Thoroughly drain vegetables, then pat dry with paper towels.
- Wipe out ice bath bowl. In same bowl, whisk mayonnaise and sriracha.
- On a platter, build nachos by creating a base of wonton chips. Top with chilled tuna, cabbage and scallions mixture, avocado, and jalapeño. Drizzle with spicy mayo, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve with lime wedges alongside.
