- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cut the wonton wrappers into rounds with a 3-inch ring mold.
- Fry the wonton rounds in canola oil heated to 350°F until golden brown and crispy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and reserve.
- For the watermelon, place the watermelon on a parchment lined sheet pan.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Mix the marinade ingredients. Coat the watermelon thoroughly in the mixture and bake in the oven for about 60 minutes. Once the watermelon has achieved a soft texture, remove the watermelon from the oven and chill completely.
- For the poke-style mix, dice the chilled watermelon in ½-inch cubes and add it to the mixture. Drain the watermelon in a colander and combine the soy sauce, scallion, nori, oil, sesame seeds, avocado, and chili sauce. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
- To assemble the tostadas, place a spoonful (about 2-3 tablespoons) of the watermelon mixture on each crispy wonton. Drizzle each tostada with 1 teaspoon of Spicy Citrus Mayo, ¼ teaspoon of sesame seeds and 1/2 teaspoon of chopped cilantro.Note: for a bolder flavor, bake the watermelon a day in advance.

Even people who love soy sauce and use it all the time are often surprised to learn what it is and how it’s made. We make ours from just four simple ingredients—water, soybeans, wheat, and salt. Those ingredients are transformed through a traditional brewing process—much like making wine or beer—that has remained unchanged for centuries.
