Recipe: Like fish tacos? Try making Tuna Tostadas - OCRegister

If you’re like me, you love fish tacos. The tostada recipe that follows incorporates some of those luscious elements, while showcasing the pink-centered beauty of seared and sliced tuna atop a tasty salad-y mix. The fish has an alluring sesame seed crust that serves as a jumping off point for an Asian-themed slaw.

A spicy, creamy component is provided by a make-ahead sriracha mayonnaise. And a sprinkling of sliced green onion adds last-minute flavor and color to the dish.

The crisp base can be store-bought fried corn-tortilla tostadas, but if homemade is your style, Mexican cuisine guru Chef Rick Bayless suggests starting with 1/2-inch vegetable oil in a medium skillet on medium heat. When the oil is hot enough to make the edge of the tortilla sizzle, one at a time fry the corn tortillas. Fry about 15 seconds and flip with tongs. Continue to fry, pushing it down into the oil every few seconds. When tortilla has darkened a bit (usually less than 1 minute total frying time), drain on paper towels.

INGREDIENTS

1/3 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon sriracha sauce

Slaw:

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

2 tablespoons rice vinegar, seasoned or unseasoned

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

1/2 head Napa cabbage, shredded, about 5 1/2 cups

3/4 cup sesame seeds

4 (6-ounce) skinless tuna steaks, 1-inch thick

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided use

Salt and pepper to taste

4. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Place steaks in skillet, and cook, flipping every 1 to 2 minutes, until center is translucent red when checked with tip of paring knife and registers 110 degrees (for rare), 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer steaks to cutting board and slice 1/4-inch thick.
