2. Get it to just about boiling while continuously stiring then remove from heat and set aside. 



Sriracha Aioli:

Super simple. Two tablespoons of mayo to one tablespoon of Siracha. Add in a squeeze of lime and whisk together. 



Next you'll want to make your wonton chips

Over medium heat add enough oil to cover bottom of pan. Let it heat up. Cut wonton wrappers down the center to make two separate triangles. When oil is hot enough, fry each chip to a golden brown and then place on a plate with a napkin. Let cool. Set aside.

For tuna:

Now it's time to construct the nachos. Place the chips on to a plate. Sprinkle with Asian salad mix, then the mango relish. Next comes the tuna, then sprinkle over both the eel sauce & aioli.  That's it!
