Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams sashimi-grade ahi tuna
- 2 tablespoons tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sambal oelek (chili garlic paste, sugar-free)
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced thinly
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 small cucumber, diced
- 1 medium avocado, diced
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon lime juice, freshly squeezed
Instructions
Ensure the ahi tuna is fresh and sashimi-grade. Use a sharp knife to cut the tuna into 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) cubes and set aside in a medium bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together tamari, toasted sesame oil, sambal oelek, and lime juice to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the cubed tuna and gently toss to coat evenly. Let the tuna sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Dice the cucumber and avocado into small, bite-sized pieces. Slice the green onions thinly.
Once the tuna has marinated, gently fold in the diced cucumber and avocado, along with the green onions.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds, red chili flakes, and a pinch of sea salt over the poke mixture. Toss lightly to distribute the seasoning.
Serve immediately for the freshest taste. Optionally, serve over a bed of greens, cauliflower rice, or enjoy as is for a flavorful low-carb dish.
