Description
Hawaiian Ahi (Tuna) Poke is really easy to make, and after one bite, will instantly transport you to the islands.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Sashimi-grade Ahi {tuna}
- ¼ cups Finely Minced Shallots Or Maui Sweet Onion
- ¼ cups Chopped Scallions
- 2 Tablespoons (heaping) Minced Marinated Arame Or Ogo (See Note)
- ¼ teaspoons Sea Salt (more To Taste)
- 2-½ Tablespoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce, More To Taste
- ½ Tablespoons Sesame Oil
- 1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Seeds
Preparation
Using a very sharp knife, dice ahi into 1/3 – ½ inch cubes. Transfer to a large bowl and fold in shallots, scallions, arame, ¼ teaspoon sea salt, soy sauce and sesame oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Once chilled, stir the pokē and taste. Add additional sea salt and soy sauce as needed. Sprinkle the fish with toasted sesame seeds and serve.
For pokē bowls, divide the pokē into 2 portions and serve on top of bowls of steamed rice. Top bowls with additional items such as gari, avocado slices, tobiko, pickled cucumbers, and nori strips. For an appetizer, serve the pokē with tortilla chips or noriten chips.
Note: Marinated akame (sea kelp) can often be found in the refrigerated section of Japanese grocery stores but ogo (also known as ogoniri) can be a bit easier to find at Asian grocery stores (or online) as it’s often sold dried.
