Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oil in a deep frying pan to about 175 °C (350 °F). Gently wrap each wonton wrapper around a cream horn or cone mold, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
  2. Place the wrapped wonton cones into the hot oil, frying them for 2-3 minutes until golden-brown. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  3. While the cones cool, rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until clear, then cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, mix in 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cool to room temperature.
  4. In a bowl, cube or flake 8 ounces of sushi-grade tuna. Combine with 2 tablespoons of Kewpie mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce, optional sriracha, and lime zest. Mix until incorporated.
  5. Assemble the cones by layering with sushi rice, slices of avocado, and top with the tuna mixture.
  6. Finish by sprinkling furikake or black sesame seeds on top. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of crispy wonton and fresh fillings.
