Buy your tuna last on your shopping trip, ask specifically for sushi-grade or sashimi-grade, and keep it ice-cold until you're ready to mix it.
This is a same-day dish. Once the tuna is dressed, eat it within an hour or two. Don't refrigerate and reheat, and don't freeze.
The vinaigrette, wasabi mascarpone, and fried wontons can be prepped a few hours ahead. The wasabi mascarpone keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Sushi-grade salmon works in place of the tuna. Store-bought wonton chips can stand in for the fried wontons. Crème fraîche or full-fat cream cheese thinned with water works in place of mascarpone. Regular soy sauce can replace tamari.
Drizzle with spicy mayo for heat, swap in diced mango for the avocado, or use grapefruit or yuzu juice in the vinaigrette instead of orange and lime.
No ring mold? Use a small cookie cutter or wide ramekin, or spoon everything onto the wontons.
Can I use a different type of fish?
Yes, sushi-grade salmon can be used in place of the tuna.
How far in advance can I prepare the components?
The vinaigrette, wasabi mascarpone, and fried wontons can be prepped a few hours ahead. The wasabi mascarpone keeps in the fridge for up to 2 days.
What can I use if I don't have a ring mold?
You can use a small cookie cutter, wide ramekin, or simply spoon everything onto the wontons.
Can I substitute the mascarpone?
Yes, crème fraîche or full-fat cream cheese thinned with water can be used instead of mascarpone.
Is it safe to prepare this dish in advance?
