Ingredients

Scale

Canned Tuna

  • 1 can (5 oz) high-quality tuna packed in water or oil

Won Ton Wrappers

  • 12 won ton wrappers

Mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Sriracha

  • 1-2 teaspoons Sriracha (adjust according to spice preference)

Green Onions

  • 2 green onions, chopped

Carrots

  • 1/4 cup finely shredded carrots

Sesame Oil

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your cups will bake evenly and turn out crispy.
  2. Prepare the Won Ton Wrappers: Lightly grease a muffin tin and gently press the won ton wrappers into each cup, forming a small cup shape. This is where the tasty filling will go.
  3. Mix the Tuna Filling: In a bowl, combine the canned tuna, mayonnaise, Sriracha, shredded carrots, chopped green onions, and sesame oil. Mix until well combined, tasting to adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Fill the Cups: Spoon the tuna mixture into each won ton cup, generously filling them to showcase the delicious blend inside.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the won ton wrappers are golden and crispy.
  6. Cool and Serve: Once baked, let the cups cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. You can garnish them with additional green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Don’t Overfill: Ensure not to overfill the cups to prevent spilling while baking.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Don’t hesitate to add extra spices to the tuna mixture for a personalized touch.
  • Keep an Eye on Baking: Ovens can vary, so check your cups around the 10-minute mark.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh tuna or ingredients will enhance the overall taste and quality.
  • Allow to Cool: Giving the cups a few minutes to cool helps maintain their shape and prevents burns.
