INSTRUCTIONS
GARNISH
In a non-reactive bowl, combine the Ahi, cucumber, tomato, onion, lime
juice, oils and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate and allow
to marinate 30 minutes. Remove 20 minutes before serving and stir in
cilantro. Serve on baked wontons garnished with green onions, sesame seeds
and Tobiko, if desired. Yield: 8-10 servings as an appetizer
This is based on an appetizer mixture served universally throughout Hawaii.
Add/substitute whatever other fresh, seasonal crunchy vegetable you can
find such as jicama, fresh water chestnuts, parsnips, etc.
BAKED WONTONS:
This is more a technique than a hard and fast recipe. Beat 4 egg whites
with a tablespoon of water until frothy. With a pastry brush, lightly paint
wonton skins with the mixture and arrange in a single layer on non-stick or
parchment lined baking sheets and bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for
5-8 minutes or until wontons are lightly browned and crisp. You can
sprinkle the brushed but unbaked wontons with sesame seed, Kosher salt,
poppy seed or whatever to add interest. Store in airtight container for up
to 3 days.
