Ingredients
  

For the Tuile Cones
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter Adds richness and moisture; ensure it remains unseasoned to maintain flavor balance.
  • 0.25 cup Corn Syrup Provides sweetness and binding for the cones; can be substituted with honey or agave syrup.
  • 2 tablespoons Miso Paste Contributes umami depth and character; use white or yellow miso for a milder taste.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavor; adjust based on dietary needs.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper Adds subtle heat; freshly ground yields better flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Toasted Sesame Oil Provides aromatic nuttiness; substitute with grapeseed oil for a neutral flavor.
  • 0.5 cup All-Purpose Flour Gives structure to the tuile cones; use gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon Powdered Ginger Imparts warm spiciness; fresh ginger can be used in smaller quantities.
  • 2 tablespoons Black Sesame Seeds Add texture and visual appeal; optional but recommended for presentation.
  • 2 tablespoons White Sesame Seeds Add texture and visual appeal; optional but recommended for presentation.
For the Tuna Filling
  • 1 cup Sushi-Grade Tuna Main filling ingredient; substitute with salmon or cooked shrimp if necessary.
  • 2 tablespoons Pickled Ginger Provides acidity and brightness; can be replaced with shredded carrot for crunch.
  • 2 tablespoons Scallions Freshness and mild onion flavor; chives can serve as a suitable alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce-Wasabi Mixture A key flavor component; use tamari for a gluten-free version.
  • 2 tablespoons Spicy Chili Mayonnaise Adds creaminess and heat; Greek yogurt with sriracha can be a healthier swap.
  • 0.5 cup Daikon Sprouts Serve as a fresh garnish; substitute with microgreens like radish greens.
  • 2 tablespoons Massago Roe Enhances umami flavor and texture; omit if unavailable or substitute with other fish roe.
  • 1 tablespoon Bonito Flakes Creates depth and a savory finish; can be omitted if not preferred.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter with corn syrup over low heat. Once melted, whisk in miso paste, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir in toasted sesame oil, followed by gradually mixing in all-purpose flour and powdered ginger. Finish off by folding in black and white sesame seeds.
  2. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 4 inches apart. Bake for around 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and slightly crisp. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before shaping.
  3. While the tuiles are still warm and pliable, gently lift each one and wrap it around a cone-shaped mold or a piece of parchment paper to form the classic cone shape. Hold in place for a few seconds to set, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together wasabi with a splash of water and soy sauce until smooth. In another bowl, combine mayonnaise with sriracha and toasted sesame oil. Stir until well emulsified and creamy.
  5. In a chilled mixing bowl, combine diced sushi-grade tuna, pickled ginger, and thinly sliced scallions. Add your prepared soy sauce-wasabi mixture and spicy mayonnaise. Gently fold everything together until the tuna is well coated.
  6. Take each cooled sesame-miso cone and fill it with a small amount of daikon sprouts for a fresh crunch. Carefully spoon in the marinated tuna mixture, allowing it to spill just slightly over the top for an appealing presentation.
  7. For the best flavor and texture, serve your Spicy Tuna Sesame Miso Cones right away while the tuiles are still crisp. Arrange them on a lovely platter, showcasing their colorful toppings.

Notes

Chill ingredients before mixing. Use a mold for even cone shapes. Bake tuiles to golden but not burnt. Adjust spice levels to taste. Tuile cones can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container.
