Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Sashimi-grade ahi tuna
- 60 ml Soy sauce
- 15 ml Sesame oil
- 10 ml Honey
- 10 ml Rice vinegar
- 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon White sesame seeds (toasted)
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 600 grams Cooked white rice (for serving)
- 1 medium-sized Cucumber (thinly sliced)
- 1 medium-sized Avocado (sliced)
Instructions
Make sure your ahi tuna is sashimi-grade and fresh. Pat it dry with paper towels and cut it into small cubes, about 1.5 cm in size. Place the tuna in a large bowl and set aside.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and rice vinegar until well combined.
Pour the marinade mixture over the cubed tuna. Add the thinly sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and red chili flakes if you're using them. Gently toss to coat all the tuna evenly in the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Do not marinate for too long to preserve the fresh texture of the tuna.
Prepare your serving bowls by placing a base layer of warm, cooked white rice in each bowl. Arrange the sliced cucumber and avocado around the edges of the rice.
Once marinated, divide the tuna poke mixture evenly among the prepared bowls, layering it on top of the rice. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Hawaiian Red Tuna Poke!
