Best 3 Sweet And Spicy Tuna Cups Recipes

HEALTHY TUNA GRAIN BOWL WITH TURMERIC SWEET POTATOES AND SPICY YOGURT DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Toss the sweet potatoes, 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon of the ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of the turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper on the prepared baking sheet until evenly coated. Roast until tender and lightly browned, tossing halfway through, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the frozen brown rice according to package directions; keep warm. Toss the sliced cabbage, carrot ribbons, the juice from 1 lime half, a pinch of salt and a couple grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until well dressed and combined.
• Squeeze the juice from the remaining 2 lime halves into a small bowl. Stir in the yogurt, fish sauce, chili paste, honey, the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1/4 teaspoon ginger and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, a pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Divide the warm rice among 4 shallow bowls (about 3/4 cup per bowl). Top with the roasted sweet potatoes, cabbage-carrot slaw, tuna (about 1/4 cup per bowl), edamame and sliced scallions. Drizzle with the spicy yogurt dressing, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve with the reserved lime wedges for squeezing.

THAI SPICY TUNA LETTUCE WRAPS

Steps:

• Make the spicy mayo by mixing the sriracha, mayo and Asian red chili paste together; refrigerate to chill.
• Empty drained tuna into a large bowl. Break up tuna into large chunks.
• Add 2/3 of the green onions to the tuna; reserve the rest for garnish.
• Add the jalapeno, red bell pepper, red onion, shredded carrot, Thai basil and cilantro to the tuna and gently mix together, being careful not to break the tuna apart too much.
• In a small bowl whisk together lime juice, sesame oil, Asian chili paste, sesame seeds, sugar, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour dressing over tuna and mix carefully.
• Spoon tuna mixture onto lettuce leaves and top with Spicy Mayo and reserved green onions.
• Garnish with cilantro or Thai basil if you like.

SWEET AND SPICY TUNA CUPS

Steps:

• Combine gyoza dipping sauce, sugar, garlic, toasted sesame oil and red pepper flakes in a small sauce pan. Cook over medium heat until reduced by half. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place defrosted puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured work surface. Dust the top of the puff pastry sheet with flour, and roll out slightly to form an 11 x 13-inch rectangle. Cut the pastry sheet into 24 equal size rectangles by cutting the 11-inch dimension into 4 equal strips, and then cutting the 13-inch dimension into 6 equal strips.
• Lay each rectangle over the hole of a mini muffin tin, and push the middle of the dough down into the muffin tin, to form a cup. (There will be some excess dough that sits on top of the muffin tin, and depending on the size of your mini muffin pan, you may need to bake these in batches, skipping every-other hole of the muffin tin, so that the excess dough does not touch.)
• Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and punch down the puffed up middle portion of the pastry cups with a fork. Return to the oven and bake an additional 3 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and punch down the centers again with a fork, forming a nice hole for the filling. Let cool completely before removing from the muffin tin.
• In a medium bowl, lightly toss the tuna, mango, and sweet bell pepper until evenly combined. Using a small spoon, fill each puff pastry cup with the tuna filling. Drizzle the reserved sauce over the tuna filling and garnish with the chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
