CHEF JOHN'S HAWAIIAN-STYLE AHI POKE
The technique for making poke is so basic that even the most inexperienced cooks can get something close to what they'd get in a restaurant. But the one catch is you have to use only the freshest possible tuna, even if that means frozen.

Steps:
- If tuna is frozen, thaw by submerging in room temperature water for 30 minutes. When tuna is almost completely thawed, slice into small 1-inch cubes (it's easier to slice when still chilled). Combine in a bowl with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 chopped scallion. Chill in fridge for about 30 minutes. Combine mayo, Sriracha, remaining scallions (reserving a bit for topping), and 1 tablespoon tobiko or masago, whisking briefly until combined. When tuna is chilled, add the spicy mayo and mix gently with your hands until fully coated. Top with a bit more tobiko and scallions, and serve with rice and any of your other favorite poke ingredients. You can also add toasted sesame seeds for a nice crunch. The poke will be good for up to one day, but is best eaten fresh.

JJ'S HAWAIIAN AHI TUNA POKE
This recipe was found in Whole Food's Salud cooking newsletter. I'm always game for a new poke recipe, so this will be one to try soon. Keep Ahi very very cold before prepping, and work quickly to avoid it warming up. You can even refrigerate the mixing bowl or put it on ice to keep the fish cold. This is important because the texture of the Ahi will degrade quickly if it warms up at all.

Ahi Poke: Traditional Hawaiian Dish
Ahi Poke is a traditional Hawaiian dish that has become popular all over the world. The word "Poke" means "to slice or cut" in Hawaiian, which is an accurate description of how the dish is made. Ahi Poke is typically a raw fish salad made with chunks of fresh, sushi-grade Ahi tuna, mixed with seasonings and other ingredients. It is a healthy, flavorful and popular dish that has been adapted and made in various unique ways to cater to different tastes and preferences.
The Origins of Ahi Poke
The origin of Poke is not precisely known. It was initially a dish made by Hawaiian fishermen who would season the cut-offs of the catch and eat them as a snack. The dish has since evolved from a local cuisine to a global phenomenon in modern times. In Hawaii, Ahi Poke is served in most restaurants, and it is a staple dish in the traditional Hawaiian cuisine. It is also commonly found in Japanese sushi restaurants and seafood markets across the world.
How Ahi Poke is Made
The primary ingredient in Ahi Poke is Ahi, or yellowfin tuna, which is sushi-grade and as fresh as possible. It is cut into cubes and is mixed with traditional Hawaiian seasonings like soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, and sea salt. Other ingredients like fresh ginger, garlic, and spicy chili peppers are also added to enhance the flavor. Vegetables like cucumber, radish, avocado, and seaweed are often included to add texture and depth to the dish. The ingredients are then mixed and allowed to marinate for a few hours to let the flavors meld together before serving.
Health Benefits of Ahi Poke
Ahi Poke is a delicious and healthy dish, and it has become popular among health-conscious people because of its nutritional value. Since it is made with fresh, raw fish, it is a rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which help to lower cholesterol levels and promote heart health. Ahi Poke is also low in calories and fat, making it an excellent option for people watching their weight. The dish is typically served with a bed of sticky rice, which is a good source of carbohydrates that give the body energy.
Ahi Poke Variations
There are various ways to make Ahi Poke, and the dish has been adapted to suit different tastes and preferences. Some people like to add diced mangoes, pineapples or watermelon to give the dish a sweet taste, while others opt for spicy mayo, wasabi or sriracha sauce to give it a more robust flavor. Some choose edamame, macadamia nuts, or avocado, and others use seaweed salad, daikon, or carrots. The possibilities are endless, and people continue to experiment and create new variations of the dish.
Ahi Poke Bowls
As Ahi Poke became more popular, it has evolved to become Ahi Poke Bowls. These are bowls of mixed greens or rice topped with Ahi Poke, vegetables, and other toppings like pickled ginger or seaweed. The bowls are often customizable, and people can choose their preferred ingredients to make their unique combinations. Ahi Poke bowls have become a popular trend in the United States, and many restaurants have started offering them on their menus.
Conclusion
Ahi Poke is a traditional Hawaiian dish that has become a global phenomenon. It is healthy, delicious, and versatile, making it a popular choice among foodies and health-conscious individuals. The dish has evolved over the years and has been adapted to suit different taste preferences, leading to the creation of various Ahi Poke recipes. Ahi Poke bowls have taken the world by storm, and it is no wonder why. The dish is a real delicacy that continues to fascinate and captivate people's taste buds worldwide.
Tip 1: Purchase high-quality tuna
The key to making excellent ahi poke is to use high-quality tuna. Fresh, sushi-grade ahi tuna is the best choice. Sushi-grade tuna comes from the upper loin and is free of any blemishes, bruises, or discoloration. When purchasing tuna, ensure it has a dark red color, firm texture, and a fresh ocean scent.Tip 2: Cut the tuna into bite-sized pieces
When preparing your ahi poke recipe, it is important to cut the tuna into small, even-sized pieces. This allows the flavors of the other ingredients to blend well with the tuna, making a perfectly balanced dish. It is recommended to cut the tuna into bite-sized pieces, about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inches to ensure that they are small enough to fit onto a spoon.Tip 3: Use High-quality Seasonings
The seasoning is the most crucial element in making mouth-watering ahi poke recipes. Some people prefer traditional Hawaiian seasoning such as soy sauce, sesame oil, and sea salt, while others prefer a spicy kick with chili pepper flakes or Sriracha. Since there are no specific seasonings for poke, it is important to experiment with various combinations until you find the flavor that works for you.Some of the seasoning options for ahi poke recipes are:
- Soy sauce
- Sesame oil
- Sea salt
- Rice vinegar
- Ginger
- Chili pepper flakes
- Garlic
- Wasabi
Tip 4: Use fresh vegetables or fruits
Adding fresh vegetables and fruits to your ahi poke recipe adds an additional layer of flavor and texture to the dish. Vegetables such as edamame, cucumbers, and onions, and fruits such as mango, pineapple, and avocado can be used. When adding vegetables or fruit, ensure that they are fresh and chopped into small pieces to mix well with the tuna.Some of the vegetable and fruit options for ahi poke recipes are:
- Edamame
- Cucumbers
- Green onions
- Avocado
- Mango
- Pineapple
- Jalapenos
- Seaweed salad
Tip 5: Chill the ahi poke before serving
To enjoy the best flavors of ahi poke, it is recommended to chill it before serving. Once the ingredients have been mixed, place the ahi poke in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to marry, and the tuna to absorb the seasoning completely.Tip 6: Serve the ahi poke with creative toppings
While ahi poke is delicious on its own, serving it with creative toppings elevates the dish to another level. Some popular toppings include sesame seeds, macadamia nuts, furikake, and crispy fried onions. Be creative and top the dish with your favorite ingredients.Some toppings that can be used with ahi poke recipes are:
- Sesame seeds
- Macadamia nuts
- Furikake
- Crispy fried onions
- Nori strips
- Pickled ginger
- Wasabi peas
- Tobiko caviar
Tip 7: Pair the ahi poke with a good drink
To make the ahi poke experience enjoyable, it is important to pair it with a fitting drink. While traditional Hawaiian punch or Mai Tai are excellent options, other drinks like beer, wine, or sake complement the dish perfectly. Pairing the right drink with the ahi poke enhances the flavors of the dish and makes it a complete experience.Some drinks that can be paired with ahi poke dishes are:
- Hawaiian punch
- Mai Tai
- Beer
- White wine
- Sake
- Green tea
- Coconut water
