SUNNY'S AHI TUNA POKE WITH PLANTAIN CHIPS



Sunny's Ahi Tuna Poke with Plantain Chips image

This recipe is a quick and easy, multipurpose way to make your ahi tuna for an amazing poke. I like to turn it into a poke bowl with a spring mixture of baby lettuces, pickled ginger, seaweed salad, diced mango, cilantro and sometimes rice or quinoa, but you can also use it to fill lettuce wraps. Still, there's nothing like fresh tuna poke served alone with plantain chips as a snack or appetizer. This is how I've had it on vacation, and I love it, because it's well-balanced with a sweet, salty and fiery bite from the ginger and spicy honey.

BASIC POKE



Basic Poke image

Poke (pronounced POH-kay), is a Hawaiian raw-fish salad made with marlin and ahi (yellowfin) or aku (skipjack) tuna. I make my own version of poke now, here where I live in Oregon, when the weather is good and hot. I drive over to my local fish market, and pick up some fresh kajiki marlin, which I cut into cubes. I buy my seaweed pickled in a bottle from an Asian food market, and I chop a small bunch with half a white onion, toss the garnish onto the cubed marlin in a stainless-steel bowl, squeeze a teaspoon or two of fresh wasabi onto it and mix in splashes of tamari sauce.

Ahi Tuna and Shrimp Poke Recipes: An

Poké, pronounced "po-kay," originally hails from Hawaii but has now become a popular dish worldwide. It consists of diced raw fish, typically tuna or salmon, mixed with a variety of vegetables, sauces, and spices. One variant of poké includes shrimp as the protein, and others combine multiple fish types, including ahi tuna. Ahi tuna is a high-quality sushi-grade fish that marries well with the other ingredients in the dish, hence making it a preferred choice for sushi lovers. In this article, we delve into the world of ahi tuna and shrimp poke recipes.

The Origin of Poke

Poke is deeply rooted in Hawaiian culture, and its history can be traced back centuries to when native Hawaiians would traditionally hunt and fish for their meals. They would slice the fish into bite-sized pieces, season them with a mix of salt, seaweed, and other island spices, and then serve the dish with side dishes like taro and poi. Over time, the meal evolved and adopted several Asian influences. Japanese and Korean immigrants to Hawaii created the more modern iteration of poke to incorporate rice, soy sauce, sesame oil, and a variety of other toppings. Today’s poke is not just limited to fish; vegetarian, tofu, squid, and chicken options are available, too. The crucial factor is that all ingredients are of high quality and fresh, as that is the hallmark of any poke dish.

How to Make Ahi Tuna Poke

Poke is a dressed-down dish that requires just a few basic ingredients to be combined to achieve the desired flavor. The primary considerations are the freshness and quality of the fish, the sauce, and vegetable combinations used. For the ahi tuna poke dish, the following ingredients will most likely make an appearance in any recipe one might come across:
Ingredients
  • 1 lb sushi-grade Ahi Tuna
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons ginger, grated
  • 3 green onions, finely sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 avocado, cut into chunks
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting the tuna into cubes very carefully, ensuring that each piece is uniform.
  2. Combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, ginger, and salt in a separate bowl to make the sauce.
  3. Place the tuna cubes in a fresh, clean bowl and pour the dressing on top of the fish. Gently toss everything until the tuna is coated with the sauce.
  4. Add the sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and avocado chunks to the bowl and toss gently just to mix and serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving.

How to Make Shrimp Poke

In some cases, cooks might opt to change things up a little and use shrimp instead of tuna in their poke dish. When using shrimp, here is a recipe that one can try:
Ingredients
  • 1 lb fresh, raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup diced mango
  • 1/2 cup edamame
  • 1/3 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup diced green onions
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated or minced
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced (optional)
Instructions
  1. Cut the shrimp into bite-sized chunks, and put them into a separate bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the soy sauce, lime juice, honey, grapefruit juice, ginger, and garlic to create the sauce.
  3. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and vegetables, and toss them until they are well coated.
  4. Add the cucumber, mango, edamame, and green onions to the bowl, folding gently until everything is consistently mixed.
  5. Place the dish in the fridge to cool for 10-15 minutes so that the flavors deeply integrate. Enjoy!

Valuable Tips for Making Ahi Tuna and Shrimp Poke Recipes

Poke has become a favorite of many seafood lovers around the world. Poke originated in Hawaii and traditionally consists of raw fish that is mixed with various ingredients and served over rice or lettuce. Ahi tuna and shrimp poke recipes are two of the most popular poke combinations, and for good reason. The combination of tender, juicy tuna and succulent shrimp is simply irresistible. If you want to learn how to make the best ahi tuna and shrimp poke recipe, then you're in the right place!

Tips for Preparing and Cooking Tuna and Shrimp

When it comes to preparing ahi tuna and shrimp poke, proper preparation and cooking techniques are critical to achieving the perfect texture and flavor. Here are some tips to help you get it right:
Choose high-quality tuna and shrimp
The key to making great poke is to start with the best ingredients. For ahi tuna, look for sushi-grade fish that is fresh and firm. For shrimp, choose large, deveined shrimp that is fresh and plump. Avoid using frozen fish or shrimp, as they may be less flavorful and have a less desirable texture.
Thaw frozen tuna and shrimp properly
If you need to thaw frozen tuna or shrimp before cooking, it's important to do so properly. Thaw your fish or shrimp in the refrigerator, not at room temperature or in hot water. This will help prevent bacteria from growing on the surface of the fish or shrimp and keep it fresh.
Cut the tuna and shrimp into bite-sized pieces
To make poke, it's important to cut your tuna and shrimp into bite-sized pieces. This will make it easier to eat and mix with the other ingredients. Aim for pieces that are roughly 1-inch in size.
Cook the shrimp just right
When cooking shrimp, it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp can become tough and rubbery, which is not what you want in your poke recipe. Cook your shrimp just until they turn pink and opaque, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

Ingredients to Use in Your Ahi Tuna and Shrimp Poke Recipe

The beauty of poke is that it can be made with a variety of ingredients. Here are some of the most popular ingredients to include in your ahi tuna and shrimp poke recipe:
Rice or greens
Traditionally, poke is served over rice, which helps to balance the flavors and textures of the dish. However, if you're looking for a lighter option, you can also use greens, such as lettuce, spinach, or kale. This will give your poke a fresh, vibrant taste.
Vegetables and herbs
Vegetables and herbs are an important part of any poke recipe. Some great options to consider include diced cucumber, shredded carrots, sliced jalapeno peppers, green onions, and fresh cilantro. These ingredients will add crunch and flavor to your poke.
Sauce and seasoning
Ahi tuna and shrimp poke recipes typically involve a flavorful sauce and seasoning. Some popular options include sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili garlic paste. Be sure to taste your sauce as you go, as everyone's palate is different.

Assembly and Presentation Tips

Once you've prepared your ingredients, it's time to assemble and present your ahi tuna and shrimp poke. Here are some tips to help you get it right:
Mix your ingredients together gently
When you're mixing your ingredients together, be gentle. Toss them together with a light hand so that everything is evenly coated with the sauce and remains intact. Overmixing can break down the delicate textures of the tuna and shrimp, which can make for a less enjoyable poke experience.
Present your poke beautifully
Poke is a beautiful dish and should be presented as such. Arrange your mixed ingredients in a bowl or plate, being mindful of the different colors and textures. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, and sliced avocado or pickled ginger.
Serve immediately
Lastly, it's important to serve your ahi tuna and shrimp poke immediately after preparing. Poke tastes best when it's fresh, so avoid refrigerating or leaving it out at room temperature for too long. Enjoy your delicious creation while it's still warm and your seafood is perfectly tender!

Conclusion

With the right ingredients and techniques, making ahi tuna and shrimp poke recipes can be a fun and rewarding experience. Be sure to choose high-quality ingredients, mix everything together delicately, and present your poke beautifully. Follow these tips, and you'll be well on your way to creating the perfect poke dish for your next family meal or dinner party.
