CHEF JOHN'S HAWAIIAN-STYLE AHI POKE



Chef John's Hawaiian-Style Ahi Poke image

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.

This is a standard raw tuna (poke) salad served in most Hawaiian homes. Although unconventional, it is sure to please the more adventurous seafood lovers. Be sure to use fresh tuna for the very best flavor, although fresh frozen tuna will produce acceptable results.

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.
