Ingredients

  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 4 pot sticker wrappers
  • 2 ounces sashimi grade ahi tuna, diced
  • 2 ounces Mango Jicama Salsa, recipe follows
  • 1-ounce Sweet Soy Sauce, recipe follows
  • 2 ounces Wasabi Cream, recipe follows
  • 3 ounces pea shoots
  • 1-ounce eel sauce

Directions

In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the canola oil to 360 degrees F. Fold the pot sticker skins to create a taco shape and fry in the canola oil. Set aside to cool.

In a small bowl, gently toss the tuna, Mango Jicama Salsa and Sweet Soy Sauce. Fill each taco shell with 1/4 of the mixture, and finish with a 1/2-ounce drizzle of the Wasabi Cream.

To serve, arrange the tacos over a bed of the pea shoots and dress with the eel sauce.

Mango Jicama Salsa:

  • 1 cup mango, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup jicama, peeled and small diced
  • 1/4 cup (1/4-inch) diced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro leaves
  • 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon seeded and finely diced jalapeno
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

In a small bowl, gently stir all of the ingredients together. Allow the flavors to marry for 20 minutes before serving.

Sweet Soy Sauce:

  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon wasabi powder

Whisk all ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. Let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or until ready to serve.

Wasabi Cream:

Combine all of the ingredients in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Whip on high until the mixture forms hard peaks, about 5 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use.

    These are absolutely amazing!! We can't get enough of these. Don't skip any of the steps or sauces, get every ingredient listed and do your best not to make any substitutions. I promise these will knock your socks off. We first had these at Johnny Garlic's. When we made these at home they tasted just as good if not better. Seriously this is amazing and addictive. Guy knocked this one out of the park!

    I think these look a lot like the "Poke Tacos" at Duke's in Hawaii! Sooooo Yummy, but who gets credit?

    This was amazing! My husband doesn't care for wasabi, so I left it out - it was still awesome. Our local grocery didn't have eel sauce, so we topped with Ponzu sauce. Still VERY tasty!!! As my husband (my guinea pig said "You can make this ANY TIME!" :
