Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Place the cubed ahi tuna in a small bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Pour 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon minced ginger, and 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil over the tuna.

  3. Step 3

    Stir the tuna gently with a fork until everything is evenly coated, lifting from the bottom to coat all pieces.

  4. Step 4

    Let the poke sit at room temperature for 10 minutes so the flavors soak in; it will smell fragrant and savory when ready.

  5. Step 5

    Cut the avocado in half lengthwise around the pit, twist the halves apart, scoop out the pit, then slice each half into thin lengthwise strips.

  6. Step 6

    Dice the cucumber into pieces the size of a grain of rice by cutting it into 1/4-inch cubes.

  7. Step 7

    In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon sriracha until the color is uniform, creating a spicy mayo.

  8. Step 8

    Spread the wonton chips across a large plate or shallow platter, arranging them so they lie flat and overlap slightly like shingles.

  9. Step 9

    Use a slotted spoon to lift the poke from its marinade, leaving excess liquid behind, and scatter it evenly over the chips.

  10. Step 10

    Arrange the avocado slices in a single layer on top of the poke, spacing them so they cover the chips.

  11. Step 11

    Scatter the diced cucumber pieces over the avocado in a thin, even layer.

  12. Step 12

    Drizzle the spicy mayo in a zigzag pattern across the entire nacho by moving the small bowl side to side about 6 inches above the plate.

  13. Step 13

    Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sesame seeds evenly over the top.

  14. Step 14

    Scatter the sliced scallion over the nachos as a final garnish.

  15. Step 15

    Serve immediately while the chips are still crispy; eat with your hands or a fork.
