The Spicy Tuna Wonton Cup Fiasco

It was supposed to be a simple appetizer, but it turned into a spicy disaster.

My friend had invited me over for a dinner party, and I had decided to bring a batch of spicy tuna wonton cups as an appetizer.

As I was preparing the wonton cups, I decided to be a little adventurous and add some extra sriracha sauce to the tuna mixture. After all, I loved spicy food, and I figured my friends would too.

When I arrived at the party, I proudly presented my spicy creation to my friends. They all looked excited to try it, and I eagerly watched as they took their first bites.

But as soon as they started chewing, their faces turned red and their eyes started to water. I quickly realized my mistake - I had added way too much sriracha sauce, and the wonton cups were unbearably spicy!

My friends tried to be polite and finish the wonton cups, but it was clear that they were struggling. I felt terrible, and I promised to make it up to them with a less spicy dish next time.

Lesson learned: sometimes, it's better to stick to the recipe instead of getting too creative.

Ingredients:

• 12 wonton wrappers
• 1/2 pound of sushi-grade tuna, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup of mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon of sriracha sauce
• 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon of grated ginger
• 1/4 cup of chopped scallions
• 1/4 cup of toasted sesame seeds

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Press each wonton wrapper into the cups of a mini muffin tin, lightly spraying the wrappers with cooking spray if desired.
3. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the wonton cups are golden brown and crispy.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, chopped scallions, and sesame seeds.
5. Fill each wonton cup with the spicy tuna tartare mixture.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
