Ingredients

Preserved-Lemon Tuna Ceviche

  • 3/4 to 1 pound fresh tuna, diced

  • 1/2 large ripe but firm mango, diced

  • 1 ripe but firm avocado, diced

  • 1 Persian cucumber, diced

  • 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped

  • 1 jalapeno, deseeded and finely minced

  • 1/2 preserved lemon, finely chopped

Black Sesame Crusted Rice Paper Crisps

  • 4 sheets rice paper, each cut into 8 triangles (see note)

  • 1 egg white

  • black sesame seeds

For Serving

  • black sesame seeds

Directions

Prepare the Rice Paper Crisps

1.

Brush each rice paper triangle lightly with egg-wash and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.

2.

In a small saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry rice paper triangles, one at a time, for two to three seconds; immediately after it curls, remove from oil using tongs or a slotted spoon. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Prepare the Ceviche

1.

In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. Mix until well combined; taste, adjust seasoning if necessary.

To Assemble

1.

When ready to serve, arrange five to six sesame leaves on a long platter.

2.

Spoon some of the tuna ceviche over each leaf; top with about a teaspoon of seaweed caviar, if using.

3.

Top each one with a sesame crusted rice paper crisp. Serve the rest on the side. Serve immediately.

Notes:

I prefer using kitchen shears to cut the ripe paper rounds, but you may use a knife on a clean dry cutting board, if desired. Triangles don’t have to be perfect as they take their own shape once they shrivel in the oil.

Black sesame crusted rice paper crisps can be made ahead of time and stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days.
