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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Gently toss the ingredients in the bowl to ensure the tuna is evenly coated with the soy sauce and sesame oil mixture.
Step 6
Add the sesame seeds, seaweed salad, and red chili flakes to the bowl. Toss gently to incorporate these ingredients with the tuna mixture.
Step 7
Finish by seasoning with Hawaiian sea salt. Sprinkle the salt evenly over the mixture and toss gently one last time.
Step 8
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate the poke for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
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.
