Instructions
For the poke: begin by cutting the poke into 1/2-inch cubes. (I have a Youtube video on this if you need step by step detail.)
In a large bowl, whisk together all the other ingredients. It will make a deliciously, fragrant sauce.
Gently add the cubes of ahi tuna to the dressing and fold them in. Let this marinate 15 minutes or so as you prepare the wonton cups. Taste for seasoning before serving… you may need to add more soy sauce or spice to suit your own tastes.
To Make the Wontons: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce and sesame oil.
Spray the cupcake pan liberally with spray oil or brush with sesame oil.
Place one wonton in each hole. It should make a little bowl with curled edges. Brush the wontons with the sesame oil/soy sauce mixture and sprinkle with salt and sesame seeds.
Bake the wontons for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees, or until golden brown.
Remove pan carefully and remove wonton cups to a plate to cool. Repeat until you have the desired number of wonton cups.
***These can be held in zip lock bags for days without going stale. It’s a great step to do ahead before parties so that your appetizer is ready to complete when you’re ready to serve.
To Assemble: spoon poke mixture into cups and garnish with green onion, cilantro, or additional sesame seeds.
Notes
Note: Try to keep the poke cool. Raw fish should not sit out in the sun for extended periods of time.
