Chef John's Hawaiian-Style Ahi Poke

Chef John
"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."

Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- Do not add vinegar or citrus juice to the marinade. You won't get the same texture that we're looking for here.
- I like to serve this on sushi rice with sliced seasonal vegetables. Other options include cold noodles, or on a salad, or with fried wonton chips as an appetizer.
- Editor's Note:
- Consuming raw seafood may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions.

I loved it but I think I over salted according to my food critics (family). I will give it another try.
