EXTRA CRISPY SPICY TUNA HAND ROLL

Wed, August.08.2010

Wonton with Tuna? Raw?!?  YES!  The combination cold raw spicy tuna and the crispiness of the wonton shell is just delectable.  In addition to the seasoned sushi rice and nori, the smooth and creamy avocado binds everything together with every bite.

What you’ll need:

• Sushi Rice
• 1/2 sheet nori
• wonton skin
• 1 egg
• raw tuna
• avocado
• togarashi
• sriracha
• soy sauce
• scallions

You will Also need:

• Portable deep fryer or Pot of Oil

First, start to cook rice for your sushi rice.  While you wait for the rice to finish, dice up your raw tuna with a knife, preferable sharp and heavy like a deba knife.  Work at the tuna until you cannot anymore.  Transfer the tuna into a bowl with another bowl of ice under it.  This way the tuna will maintain cold and fresh.

Next, add some sriracha (Asian chili sauce), togarashi (Japanese seven spice or five spice), scallions, and some soy sauce to preference.  It should taste hot, salty and delicious.  Add a dash of sesame oil if you have that on hand also.  Mix it up real good and taste it.  Add which ever ingredient you want more of to your liking.

Next, turn your deep fryer on to 375 degrees or have a pot of oil going at medium high heat.  While waiting for the oil to heat up, beat an egg in a bowl.  Grab your wonton skins and curl then up into a cone.  Close the edge with a smear of the beated egg.  Make as many of these as you like.  When the oil is ready place the wonton cones into the hot oil with chop sticks, holding them into a cone shape.  Once the wonton skin starts to bubble up you can release them for your chop sticks and wait until it turns golden brown.  Remove from the oil and place on a plate with paper towels to soak the oil.

By now your rice should be fully cooked to turn into sushi rice.  Once that’s done, cut up some thin slices of avocado.

Alright now lets get to it!

Place some sushi rice onto your 1/2 sheet of nori.  Just a little bit of rice! since there is going to be a lot going into this hand roll.

That should be about enough or even lesser.  Next place the wonton cone diagonally over the rice and wrap it with the nori.  Place a bit of rice on the corner to close the nori into a cone shape.  Next, place a thin slice of avocado into the wonton cone and then stuff it w/ spicy tuna.  Simple as that!  Top off the spicy tuna with some more scallions if you prefer.  Repeat this process until you have your desired amount of spicy tuna wonton hand rolls! Enjoy!
