Fun with fusion food
I really enjoy sushi and, like most people, I’m a big fan of nachos. So I decided to bring the two together. These nachos are all the flavors of a spicy tuna roll.
I start with making the chips from wanton wrappers. I prefer to bake them but of course they can be fried. I cut the wrappers on a diagonal, spread them in a single layer on a backing sheet. Then they’re brushed with egg wash and sprinkled with Himalayan sea salt and sesame seeds.
For the tuna steak, I whisk up a quick marinade of coconut aminos, rice wine vinegar, garlic-ginger paste, and a little honey. I find tuna steak can be a little bland without at least a quick marinade. Even fifteen minutes adds a lot of good flavor.
When building the nachos, I create two layers. Start with half the chips, top with half of the nacho toppings and drizzle with the sriracha mayo. Then repeat. Add some fish roe to the top and you’re all set to serve. This way all the good stuff gets distributed among the chips.
