Bean Sprout Kimchi Ahi Tuna Tostadas

[heart_this] · Jul 10, 2010 · 15 Comments

Bean Sprout Kimchi Ahi Tuna Tostadas

My batch of bean sprout kimchi was quickly dwindling and I wanted to do something with it other than snacking on it before it disappeared. While thinking about it, I kept coming back to the idea of a bean sprout kimchi version of the ahi tuna tostadas that I enjoyed so much not too long ago. I figured that the tasty, juicy and crunchy bean sprout kimchi would go well on a crispy fried wonton and topped with a perfectly seared piece of ahi tuna and a dab of creamy and spicy gochujang mayo. The second time making these tostadas, things went quicker and I have to say that I really like the way that the wontons fry up and get all nice and light and airy and crispy. The bean sprout version kimchi of these ahi tuna tostadas turned out great and I think I may even like this version better, though that may simply be because I am just a little partial to kimchi. 🙂

    Kevin, I still haven't tried kimchi because it sounds about as appealing as sour kraut, but all these recipes you make with it are making it harder to resist.

    Your kimchi recipes always look so great. Have you ever thought of making the Korean seaweed salad or the black soybeans boiled in soy sauce? Those are two things I'd really like to try and if you make them, I'm ready to follow your recipe!
