Serves 8
Directions
- 1Prepare the “taco” shells by cutting each nori sheet in half, then trimming 1/3 off the bottom. Each rectangle will form a shell. Discard the scraps.
- 2Prepare the tempura mix according to the package instructions, using only half the package.
- 3Heat 2 inches of neutral-flavored oil in a wide, deep skillet until it reaches 350°F.
- 4Working one at a time coat the nori in the tempura batter (depending on the size of your skillet you may be able to fit 2).
- 5Fry each shell for 30 seconds, then flip and fry the other side until it turns light golden.
- 6Remove the shell and immediately bend it to create a taco shape and rest on a paper towel.
- 7For the spicy tuna, mince the tuna and mix it with the mayo and sriracha.
- 8For the spicy kani, shred the kani sticks, then combine them with the mayo and sriracha. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
- 9To assemble each taco, layer a small amount of rice in the shell, add your filling, and top with julienned cucumber, optional chilis, cilantro, and sesame seeds.

Tips
- It is important to fry only 1–2 nori sheets at a time, as they become wet once coated and will tear if not placed in the oil immediately.
