Hawaiian Spicy Tuna Poke

I wanted to stick to a pretty typical Hawaiian poke for the sashimi-grade tuna that I picked up from Yama Seafood - San Gabriel. So it was the usual seasonings of soy sauce and sesame oil, with the addition of chili sambal and Sriracha to kick it up a notch.

I looove spicy tuna, and while cheaper cuts are often used in the rolls, I can't stress enough that you should really splurge on sashimi-grade tuna for poke. Freshness makes a big difference, especially when you're eating raw fish.



Hawaiian Spicy Tuna Poke

For about 2 servings, you'll need:
1/2 lb sashimi-grade tuna, cubed
1 large shallot or 1/4 Maui or red onion, thinly sliced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tblsp soy sauce
1 tblsp chili sambal
2 tsp Sriracha
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp sesame seeds, toasted
1/2 cup seaweed salad

Wash and pat dry with paper towels about 1/2 lb of sashimi-grade tuna. Slice into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.



Thinly slice 1 large shallot and 2 green onions. Add 1 tblsp soy sauce, 1 tblsp chili sambal, 2 tsp Sriracha, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds, and 1/2 cup seaweed salad.



Mix thoroughly and leave to chill in the fridge for about half an hour.



Or if you can't possibly wait, eat right away.



Served with rice.



Enjoy!
