Tuna Tartare with Baked Wonton Chips

May 31, 2012 By Lokness 4 Comments

For Bryan and my anniversary dinner, I wanted to make a fancy restaurant style menu. Tuna tartare is just perfect. It is one of the most common appetizers in restaurant. When I stumbled upon this recipe online, I knew that I have to try it. And I am so glad I did! It was so easy! The tartare was fresh and flavorful. Savory and little spicy. It was great with the crispy wonton chips. This is no doubt the best appetizer that I have made so far. Oh, did I mention that there is no cooking at all? Get everything ready ahead of time and toss them all together at the last minute. Tah dah! Great for dinner party!

Tuna Tartare with Baked Wonton Chips (Adapted from 14K restaurant via Los Angeles Times & sweetnicks.com)

2 servings

Ingredients:

–   8 ounces sushi-grade tuna (cut into ¼-inch dices)

–   2 ½ teaspoons chives (minced)

–   2 ½ teaspoons shallot (minced)

–   2 ½ teaspoons soy sauce

–   2 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard

–   2 teaspoons sesame oil

–   1 ½ teaspoon olive oil

–   1 teaspoon chile oil

–   juice from ½ cold lime

–   toasted black sesame seeds

Wonton chips:

–   5 – 7 wonton skins (cut in half, diagonally, into triangles)

–   cooking spray

–   salt

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with the cooking spray. Place the wonton chips on the baking sheet. Spray oil over the top of the chips. Bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Season with salt. Remove the chips and cool them on a rack. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chives, shallot, soy sauce, mustard, sesame oil, olive oil, chile oil and lime juice. Toss the tuna with the mixture. Transfer the tuna tartare into a plating ring on a serving plate. Press down the tuna gently and remove the ring slowly. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the tuna. Serve immediately alongside the baked wonton chips.

Pausing your Thanksgiving feed for a moment, I’m Pausing your Thanksgiving feed for a moment, I’m sharing this new recipe, My Favorite Bolognese. Comfort food is exactly what we need this time of the year. This bolognese is umami & very flavorful but not too heavy. Most importantly, part of the cooking happens in the oven, so you can walk away & relax! I’ve made this a few times in the past couple months, & has become one of my go-to recipes. Hope you guys will like it too!

Mini Black Chocolate Bundt Cakes w/ Chocolate Gana Mini Black Chocolate Bundt Cakes w/ Chocolate Ganache. These little cuties are super moist & chocolatey. The best part is you don’t need a mixer to make these cakes. Just stir and mix! I used black cocoa powder in the batter to give that extra dark color. Btw, aren’t those little spider sprinkles adorable?

The food in Granville Island (@granville_island), The food in Granville Island (@granville_island), Vancouver was absolutely fantastic! We ate from one stall to another. We originally planned to be there for an hour or so, but we ended up eating & wandering around for 3 1/2 hours. It was so much fun! 

Here are the food we tried & love: 
1) Breakfast Bagel (Siegel’s Bagels @siegelsbagels) - Love the smoked meat w/ cheddar & cream cheese. Really great bagel sandwich! 
2) Honey Dip Yeast Donut (Lee’s Donuts @leesdonuts.ca) - Donut was super light & fluffy. The honey flavor was very mild, but the crunchy glaze was excellent. 
3) Salted Caramel Canelés (La Bise Bakery @labisebakery) - Crispy outside & custardy center! Delicious!
4) Crispy Thai Garlic Chicken Wings (Sen Pad Thai @senpadthai) - Hot, crispy & flavorful. The tamarind dipping sauce was a must! 
5) Nutzo Puffcream (Popina Canteen @popinacanteen) - Fun & cute dessert w/ many different topping combo.

This Vancouver trip, we spent most of our time in This Vancouver trip, we spent most of our time in Richmond, British Colombia. It’s the city where the airport is located & right next to Vancouver. There is a huge Chinese community, so there’re many traditional Chinese food. One of the most memorable for me has to be this char siu & roasted duck w/ rice. Char siu had the perfect balance of meat & fat. I also got the soup of the day. It was very comforting & I finished the whole bowl. The atmosphere, the people & the food reminded me of Hong Kong. I’ll definitely come back next time! 

Tips: Many restaurants & food stalls in Richmond only take cash.
