Ingredients:
- 1 lb fresh Ahi tuna, sushi-grade, cubed
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- Optional toppings: avocado, cucumber, seaweed salad
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ahi Tuna:
- Ensure the Ahi tuna is sushi-grade and fresh. Cube it into bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced ginger, minced garlic, and honey (or sugar). Adjust the quantities to your taste preferences.
- Marinate the Tuna:
- Gently toss the cubed tuna in the sauce until evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the tuna; you want to preserve the texture.
- Chill the Poke:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the Ahi Poke marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15-30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld.
- Add Final Touches:
- Before serving, sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds over the Ahi Poke. You can also add additional toppings like sliced avocado, cucumber, or seaweed salad.
- Serve:
- Serve the Ahi Poke over a bed of rice, salad greens, or enjoy it on its own. It’s a great appetizer or light meal.
