MARINATE TUNACut your tuna steak into small cubes, 1/2 inch X 1/2 inch. Add Soyaki Marinade ( or any teriyaki sauce/marinade you have, also you can simply use soy sauce and some sesame oil mix), 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds, and a little bit of Everything Bagel seasoning ( also optional). Let is marinate for 20 minutes, while we are working on our wonton taco shells. |

MAKE WONTON TACO SHELLSAs simple as it sounds, this step is super important. And here is why: Oil temperature is crucial for cooking wonton taco shells just right. If you heat the oil up too much, shells will become very crunchy and will eventually fall apart when you bite into your taco, so set your pan with Canola Oil (or any frying oil of your choice) over Low - Medium heat. Make sure oil is hot enough and put your first "test" wonton in. Keep using thongs to keep the wonton under the oil surface and prevent it from curling. The hotter the temperature of your oil the more your wonton sheet will curl, so if you see it is getting out of your hands - lower your heat even more. It is almost like the best BBQ secret - low and slow! When you start seeing sides getting light brown - flip it! Let is fry for a bit more, till the wonton shell gets nice golden, and using thongs fold it and take out of oil to a paper towel or cooling rack like I used, keep holding with thongs for 15 seconds so the shell will cool down and keep its shape, just like pictures below: |

PREP GARNISHI love to use cucumber for this recipe to add a fresh kick to it and elevate tuna to the next level! I don`t use seeds because they are too watery and mushy, so cut them out and slice the rest of the cucumber into thin long strips. Honestly, you can shop it into cubes, I do strips just for looks! Chop green onion and set both garnished aside. |

ASSEMBLE TACOSPlace your wonton shell in a taco holder to make it easier. If you don`t have a holder make one using foil! Start with placing marinated tuna on the bottom. Add a little bit of Wasabi Sauce. Next, go cucumbers and a little bit of Sweet Chile Sauce. Top it all with chopped green onion and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Voila! |
