Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh ahi tuna
- 60 milliliters soy sauce
- 15 milliliters sesame oil
- 1 small sweet onion
- 2 stalks green onions
- 10 grams sesame seeds
- 100 grams seaweed salad
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 5 grams Hawaiian sea salt
Instructions
Start by preparing the ahi tuna. Ensure it's as fresh as possible, ideally sashimi grade. Cut the tuna into bite-sized cubes, about 1.5 cm each, and place them into a large mixing bowl.
Peel the sweet onion and slice it thinly. This should yield about 1 cup of slices. Add the sliced onion to the bowl with the tuna.
Chop the green onions into small pieces, approximately 0.5 cm thick, including both the green and white parts. Add them to the mixing bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir well to ensure they are fully mixed. Pour the mixture over the tuna, onions, and green onions.
Gently toss the ingredients in the bowl to ensure the tuna is evenly coated with the soy sauce and sesame oil mixture.
Add the sesame seeds, seaweed salad, and red chili flakes to the bowl. Toss gently to incorporate these ingredients with the tuna mixture.
Finish by seasoning with Hawaiian sea salt. Sprinkle the salt evenly over the mixture and toss gently one last time.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate the poke for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the ahi poke chilled, either on its own or over a bowl of warm rice, garnished with extra sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired.
