HAWAIIAN RED TUNA POKE



Hawaiian Red Tuna Poke image

Poke. Most people on the islands pronounce it Pokey (like Gumby's red pal) but it's pronounced Poke (rhymes with Okay). Otherwise it would be spelled Poki in Hawaiian. Anyway, it's usually made with ahi (the Hawaiian word for yellowfin tuna), basically it's a raw fish salad, usually flavored with soy sauce, sesame oil, kukui nut, and seaweed.

Categories     Tuna

Time 5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb sashimi tuna, cubed
3/4 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
3/4 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup green onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup maui sweet onion, julienned
1/2 tablespoon chili flakes
hawaiian salt, to taste
white and black sesame seed (to garnish) (optional)
dried seaweed flakes (to garnish) (optional)
candlenuts, Crushed to garnish (kukui nut) (optional)

Steps:

  • Cube your tuna and dry it with a clean towel or paper towel. You don't want lots of water on your fish when you're about to make poke because you don't want the water to dilute the flavor of your seasonings and sauces. Once it's drained, put it in a mixing bowl and prepare your other ingredients.
  • Finely chop your green onions. You don't want huge pieces of green onions because it's inconvenient to eat and gets in the way of the smooth and cool consistency of this dish. Next, cut your onions so that they're long, and not diced. You can dice them, but I think it adds more to the dish to chop the onions in a different shape than your green onions and tuna. Think about it, the tuna is cubed, the green onions are sorta cubed shaped, so why do you have to also put onions in that are cubed? Make this dish interesting visually and tastefully with julienned onions.
  • Combine your soy sauce, sesame oil and chili flakes into the bowl. Fold until well mixed. Since you're already adding soy sauce, you don't need to add a lot of Hawaiian Salt. Then garnish with whatever else you have (sesame seeds, seaweed, kukui nuts, etc.).

TUNA POKE



Tuna Poke image

This is a dish that comes from Long Island, New York, not the Big Island of Hawaii, a Northeastern take on a Pacific classic. I've made it with Atlantic bonito caught offshore and yellowfin tuna bought at the market, the meat trimmed, cubed and mixed with sesame oil and soy sauce, a little chile-garlic sauce and lot of chopped scallions. I top the salad with roasted macadamia nuts and a few vigorous shakes of furikake, a Japanese seasoning that is made of sesame seeds, dried fish and seaweed, salt and sugar. It makes for about the most delicious eating in the world.

1 1/2 pounds sushi-quality tuna loin, thick-cut
1 small red onion, peeled and sliced very thin
4 scallions, trimmed and both green and white sections thinly sliced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
1 teaspoon chile-garlic sauce, or to taste

1 cup roasted macadamia nuts, optional

Steps:

  • Carefully cut the tuna, against the grain, into thick planks of 3/4 inch, and then into 3/4-inch cubes. Place cubes into a large bowl, and add to them the onion and scallions.
  • Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, mirin and chile-garlic sauce in a small bowl. Whisk together, and adjust seasonings to taste.
  • Pour the sauce mixture over the fish, and toss gently to combine. Sprinkle the furikake or sesame seeds over the fish, toss again gently, then cover and place in the refrigerator for an hour or two to chill. Serve with the macadamia nuts, if using, scattered over the top.
