Chef John's Hawaiian-Style Ahi Poke

Ingredients

  • 1 pound sushi-grade Ahi tuna, cut into ½ inch cubes
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced (optional)
  • Cooked white rice or seaweed for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, sea salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to mix the ingredients.
  2. Gently fold in the Ahi tuna cubes, making sure they are well coated with the marinade. Be gentle to avoid breaking the fish apart.
  3. Add in the chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Mix carefully to combine.
  4. If you’re adding avocado, fold it in gently to the mixture just before serving.
  5. Let the Ahi poke marinate in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. It’s important not to marinate too long, as the acid in the soy sauce can begin to ‘cook’ the fish.
  6. Serve the poke over a bed of warm rice or beside some crisp seaweed. It’s a refreshing dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or a light main course.

Enjoy the fresh, bold flavors of this Hawaiian-Style Ahi Poke at your next gathering, and treat your guests to a taste that’s reminiscent of beautiful island beaches. A perfect way to add a splash of tropical flair to your meal!
