How to make Yard house Poke nachos 

Cut the Ahi tuna:

First, cut the raw Ahi into ½ inch pieces, which is sushi-grade tuna, and then put all the pieces in a medium mixing bowl.

Marinating the raw Ahi:

Combine the chopped Ahi with ½ cup of chopped red onions, one tablespoon of soy sauce, and the lime juice in a mixing bowl.

Now set aside the Ahi to marinate ideally for our recipe.

Cutting the wonton wrappers:

First, you can buy wonton wrappers. All you need is to cut the wrappers into triangular shapes because usually, the wrappers are square, and you can use the knife and cut in the middle, and here you have your triangular-shaped wonton wrappers.

Cutting the wonton wrappers:

Frying the Crispy wonton chips:

All you need is a nonstick frying pan and heat it to medium heat, and then after a few seconds, pour vegetable oil and check that the frying pan has ½ inch of oil in it to help you fry the wrappers perfectly. 

Now put 2-3 pieces at a time in the frying pan and fry them. Use the tongs to flip them so that all of them get perfectly fried, have a golden brown texture, and become crispy when it’s fried. Try to put them aside in a wire rack so that all the oil gets out of the crispy wonton chips, or put it on tissue papers or oil-absorbing papers.

Time to start serving the platter:

Next, take a large platter, spread those fried crispy wonton chips, and then scatter the marinated raw Ahi over the chips, followed up by scattering the freshly sliced avocado all over the chips on the platter.

Pouring the sriracha aioli and sweet soy:

Pour half a cup or two tablespoons of sriracha aioli all over the chips, and, as you can see, it’s getting more colorful, eye-catching, and delicious as you add more ingredients. 

Now add two tablespoons of sweet soy all over the chips, and let me tell you, this sweet soy will make the nachos juicier and give your taste buds a blast of unique taste.

Pouring the creamy white truffle sauce:

Follow up by adding the yummy creamy white truffle sauce all over the wonton chips. It gives the nacho an extra yummy and mouthwatering taste.

Now it’s time to end the decoration with some topping, adding Cilantro, Serrano chilies, sliced green onions, Toasted black & white sesame seeds, and finishing with the nori strips.

Here you have your restaurant version of Yard House poke nachos, ready to be eaten. 

Ending the topping

Readymade wonton chips:

You can always go for the easy method. You can buy readymade wonton fried chips to make your cooking easy and save a lot of time or buy other chips too. 

Sriracha Aioli alternative:

Spicy mayo can be your go-to alternative to sriracha Aioli, or you can make your homemade mayo or Sriracha Aioli. Or you can make a combo of mayonnaise and sriracha aioli by using a whisk which will go great with yard house with our recipe.

Toppings:

You can use other herbs like mint, dill, and basil. 

Also, some vegetables like olive, black bean, and jalapeno for toppings are all up to your taste and preference. 

Storing the Ahi:

Always remember that sushi-grade tuna will last 24-48 hours in the fridge before going wrong. So we recommend using it while it’s fresh to have the best taste.
